So How Does it Work?

Read in Real-Time from All Your Sources

Visual KPI reads data in real-time from almost any data source, including many at the same time. Some customers use more than 50 data sources concurrently. We like to think of data sources in several classes:

Historians / Time-Series Data / IoT/IIoT
Relational / OLAP / Big Data
Web Services / REST APIs /JSON, XML, OData
Manual Data & Spreadsheets

We READ this data without moving it into a new master source you have to manage and maintain, which also eliminates most of the project time and expense.

Simplify by Adding Context

Raw data is almost meaningless without context, especially when coming from many sources. Context can come in many flavors:

What makes something good/bad or high/low (limits)?
What would be optimal (target)?
How should my data be organized and navigated (hierarchy)?
Which KPIs should be alerted on and how?
Who is responsible for each metric?
How do I customize it for my company or industry (custom attributes)?

Visual KPI can be configured with this contextual information either manually using the Visual KPI Designer or fully automated using the Visual KPI Remote Context Server (RCS) which can read this configuration information (metadata) just like it reads raw data. Learn more about the Visual KPI Designer and Remote Context Server by clicking below.

Visualize and Personalize

Data and context are the ingredients for Visual KPI, and once you have them you are up and running with a live system. Even a handful of KPIs configured with just the basics gives you immediate access to a ton of KPI and Group visualizations and a navigable hierarchy. There is no blank canvas to stare at and no coding required. Instant value. Once you have the basics, it’s time to take it further:

Personalized or role-based dashboards
Additional managed visualizations (administrator-driven)
Additional self-service visualizations (ad-hoc / end-user driven)
Security: object-level security gives you control over who sees what right down to the individual metric
Site-wide defaults and object-level overrides. Change everything from colors and status to time ranges and attributes.

Not enough? The system can be fully automated with hundreds of power-user features like nested calculations, time-range functions, embedded content, SPC and more.

Real-Time Dashboards

On top of the dynamic hierarchy and ability to drill down through groups of KPIs, Visual KPI adds unlimited drag and drop dashboards.

Unlimited dashboards
Work on any device, from big screens on the wall to your phone
Can be role-based, personal, or custom
Can be locked down or open for editing
Can be secured so only certain users can see them
Can be time-bound (reports) or independent of time
Can include embedded content from other applications or sites

The best way to see why our dashboards are unique is to schedule a live demo.

Operational Analytics

Once your data is visual and real-time, you can also dive into operational analytics and other ways to triangulate and troubleshoot your operations as they happen. Oh, and this is not just for analysts – our analytics are meant for operations, field staff, management and many others. Visual KPI delivers killer analytics in many ways:

Custom attributes for only the fly pivots and grouping (without cubes!)
Exception-based KPI reporting with filters and dynamic lists
On-the-fly calculations across multiple data sources
SPC KPIs with statistics
Automated “bad actor” surfacing by frequency or time-in-state
Support for future data and predictive analytics
Live search with KPI status from any screen
Ad-Hoc trending and correlation

We do analytics differently. To see if we are a fit for your needs, schedule a live demo with us.

KPI Notifications / Alerts

It is our belief that software should not force the user to check it constantly. Smart software tells users when things need their attention and where they should be looking. KPI-based alerts give Visual KPI those exact superpowers.

Unlimited alerts
Alert templates for custom alert scenarios
Alert to individuals, groups or both
Escalating alerts
Configurable alert content
Links back to live trends showing before and after for context.

Alerts are another major differentiator for Visual KPI. Schedule a demo to take a deeper look.

Go Beyond Static Dashboards

It’s Alive!

No need to refresh the page. Visual KPI updates and alerts you in real-time as the data in your data sources change, so you can always see the latest.

KPIs for Obvious Context

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) change everything by eliminating the need for training, providing status and color, the ability to roll-up performance at every level of the hierarchy, and the ability to compare apples to oranges.

No Huge, Expensive Project

Visual KPI reads data live from internal or external sources and it’s deployed in hours, not weeks or months. We even include installation and basic training with our free trial.

Runs in the Browser

Nothing to install or maintain for end-users and secure by design with nothing stored on the devices.

Executive-Friendly

Visual KPI was born to engineering parents and has the power to prove it, but it’s equally at home in the boardroom or out in the field. Crystal clear KPIs and a focus on user experience extend your data’s reach to anyone.

Alerts!

It’s our belief that software should be smart enough to tell you when to look, and where you have issues that require your attention. Stop sifting through tons of data and start managing by exception.

Great on Any Device

Visual KPI is fully responsive, which means it adapts intelligently to any screen size and every feature works on every device, from screens on the wall to the phone in your hand.

Dynamic Dashboards

Drag ‘n drop. Personalized or role-based. Open for editing, locked down or hidden by security. Drag or scroll through time on each object or dashboard-wide.

All Your Favorite Charts

Basics like real-time trends to advanced analytics like XY plots, GeoMaps and Group KPI Maps. Data-generated, ad-hoc/user-generated in the browser, or admin-generated.

Bi-Directional Embedding

Embed your own content like forms, video feeds, HMI and process graphics, instructions to users and more. You can also embed any Visual KPI object in other apps in seconds.

Take a Closer Look

Get a live demo without the sales pitch. We’ll arrange for one of our team members to show you around on a brief web meeting and help you decide if Visual KPI is a good fit. If so, you can also try it with your own data for free.
