Tools to Visualize Your Business Data

BisTrack offers two main ways to see and analyze your business data.

Dashboards offer a high-level, graphical overview of key performance indicators for specific roles in your building supply business. These customizable interfaces act as role-specific homepages, using charts, graphs, and metrics to provide immediate insights into business health and performance, with drill-down capabilities for more detail. 

Smart Views present detailed, spreadsheet-like data in a grid format. An intuitive wizard allows any user to easily slice and dice information without technical expertise. While dashboards provide a visual summary, Smart Views enable in-depth examination of raw data, allowing users to sort, filter, and directly work with information for actionable insights.

        Drill-Down Capability

        Move from summary data to detailed records with a click.

        • Instant Access to Underlying Data: Clicking dashboard elements (data points, chart bars, metrics) opens the corresponding smart view. 
        • Root Cause Identification: Enables building suppliers to quickly understand the specifics behind trends observed in dashboards (e.g., investigating a sales dip). 
        • Informed Action: Empowers users to identify issues and take appropriate steps based on detailed insights (e.g., analyzing slow-moving insulation). 

        External Data Sharing

        Share data with stakeholders who may not have direct system access.

        • Export to Common Formats: Grid-style data (like smart views) can be exported to .xlsx (Excel), .csv, and .pdf.
        • Report Generation: Allows building suppliers to create reports on critical information such as inventory valuation and sales performance.
        • Facilitates External Collaboration: Enables sharing reports with external partners, remote management, and non-regular BisTrack users.
