Key Performance Indicators

Gain overview of company data! This is the objective within all these disciplines that all measure critical success factors by setting up Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The disciplines are so similar that it does not make sense to separate them into various systems. In TARGIT Business Intelligence Suite the functionality needed to gain such overview – and more - can be found in our Intelligent Dashboard feature.

Dashboards made in TARGIT BI Suite can be both strategic and operational. TARGIT has designed a method of adjusting dashboards to the user, which enable creation of dashboards containing strategic and/or operational measures. Thereby we meet the need for overview for executives, managers and other employees at all levels of the organization.

Gain insights into company data! These disciplines all concern analysis and reporting of company data and the only difference here is which data you look at (customer, inventory, financial etc.). TARGIT supports all the disciplines and will allow you to look at whatever data you want, with the only limit being your own data. TARGIT Business Intelligence Suite thereby provides the insights needed by employees at all levels of the organization.
