SmartyrDashboard

What are your business's critical numbers? Do you know what sales your different marketing channels generated? The SmartyrDashboard answers these questions and more.

Do you keep an eye on your business's critical numbers every day?

"If you can't measure it, you can't improve it"
Peter Drucker

As the quote above from Peter Drucker (the famous management consultant) says, if you don't measure it, you can't improve it. For example, when Gout Gout is training to improve his 100 metre sprint, his coach is continually timing him to track his improvement. If they didn't, then Gout would have no idea if he was improving or not. Just because he felt like he is running fast doesn't mean he is. This is the same in business.

If you have no idea how many phone calls you got from your website, how do you know if your SEO or Ads are generating more calls. And before you tell me you have a pretty good idea, let me tell you, I've lost count of the number of times a client will tell me they only got X number of calls in the last week and I surprise them when I show them they actually got Y number of calls; and often the difference is quite drastic.

This isn't just a marketing problem, how do you improve the following areas if you don't keep track of them?

  • Job profitability
  • Average sale
  • Quote conversion rate
  • Profit per job
  • Repeat sales
  • Referral business etc etc

This is where a business dashboard comes in, it allows you to keep track of what you consider to be your business's critical numbers on a daily basis. Unlike a report that you need to run and go looking, a dashboard shows the main numbers live 24/7. The SmartyrDasboard allows you to do this and create different dashboards for the different areas of your business.

What is a Business Dashboard?

A Business Dashboard (or Business Intelligence Dashboard) is a visual dashboard that shows the critical numbers of your business in real-time. It allows you to see the numbers in your business that are critical to its' succes or failure on a daily basis, without having to go looking. Unlike reports, they pull from different data sources/platforms, so you can combine data to have more relevant critical numbers. They can also be shared with your team members that have a direct impact on them. 

By seeing these numbers, alongside their targets, on a daily basis, you can be proactive and make changes as soon as you see a variation. So if you are serious about growing your business, you should be serious about getting a Business Dashboard.

Why the SmartyrDashboard is the best BI Dashboard for you

At Smartyr Marketing, we have been tracking critical numbers for our digital marketing plans from the very beginning. Aside from a range of numbers like website visitors, ad clicks, impressions etc, we have tracked these 2 main numbers:

  • Number of Conversions (webforms and phone calls) by Channel
  • Cost per Conversion by Channel

However, from the very beginning, we have thought how powerful it would be, to pull the data from our clients' management platforms so we could track the actual sales generated by each marketing channel so it could be compared against the cost. One of the metrics we wanted to track was ROAS, or the Return on Advertising Spend. In other words, for every dollar you spend on SEO, Google Ads etc, how many sales do they generate. As we started looking at how we could achieve this, we thought, why stop their?

A Business Dashboard for all areas of your business

If we can pull a data source from your job management platform to help us calculate the return on your marketing, then we can also use it to track your job profitability, direct wages%, cost of sales, receivable days etc to help you manage the other areas of your business. As the SmartyrDashboard is fully customisable, we can pull the data from the platforms you have, create the dashboards you want and add the critical numbers you want tracked.

A great looking, functional Business Intelligence Dashboard

When we started building the SmartyrDashboard, we had a good look around at what was already out there and weren't impressed with how they looked. Many of them had confusing interfaces with a mix graphs, tables, and other widgets so you really had to concentrate to get the information you wanted. So we designed a widget that simply shows your critical number with a guage showing it against 2 targets; break-even and your goal, or your goal and your BHAG - your choice. We also included a comparison against the previous period and the previous year. Finally, we included a link that allows you to see the underlying table that generated the number, in case you need to go digging.

An online Business Dashboard

The SmartyrDashboard has been built online to make it easier to view wherever you are. But don't worry, your data is secured and you need a login to view your SmartyrDashboard.

An integrated Business Intelligence Dashboard

If the platforms you use in your business have an API, we can connect and get the data. Some of the platforms we have already integrated with are:

  • AroFlo
  • ServiceM8
  • Google Analytics
  • Google Ads
  • Google Search Console
  • Wildjar Call Tracking

But don't worry if your platform isn't there, we can always set up the integration.

A Business Dashboard with good data

You've heard the old saying "garbage in, garbage out"? This is a common problem with business dashboards. There is no point having a BI dashboard if the data it is using isn't accurate. For example, we found when we looked at the marketing data, that often our clients don't have enquiries going into their job management platform tagged with the correct attribution, if at all. So not only do we set up the SmartyrDashboard for you, but we will also work with you to ensure the data going in is accurate.

So if you want to get serious about growing your business and want a business dashboard that will make this easier, look no further. The SmartyrDashboard is the business intelligence dashboard for you.
