Understanding Real-Time Dashboards
Real-time dashboards are essential tools for both aviation and automotive sectors, allowing pilots and drivers to monitor crucial key performance indicators (KPIs) such as fuel levels, speed, and engine temperature. This real-time insight is vital for quickly identifying issues and preventing critical failures, such as running out of fuel mid-flight.
Business Applications of Real-Time Dashboards
Similarly, businesses benefit from real-time dashboards by tracking KPIs like revenue, profitability, expenses, and cash flow. Poor cash flow is akin to a vehicle running out of fuel, underscoring the importance of real-time monitoring.
Video Demonstration
The accompanying video showcases a PowerPoint real-time dashboard alongside an Excel spreadsheet containing financial data. As inputs in Excel are modified, the dashboard updates instantly. The presentation is configured to refresh the data every 10 seconds, though this interval can be adjusted to even faster, if your data updates quickly.
