Solution: Key features

  1. The function of benchmarking:
    • P-Dashboard compares the performance across different plants and central offices comparison of key metrics, allowing the targeted comparison to identify trends and deviations.
  2. A complex presentation of data:
    • Users can monitor both plant and central office performance data with the ability to switch between detailed and summary reports using intuitive action buttons.
    • Visualization indicators provide a quick indicators of status, with the possibility of a switch to more detailed data for further analysis.
  3. Interactive user interface:
    • The Dashboard includes interactive elements that allow users to navigate between different reports, select specific time periods, and export data in PDF format.
    • Multi-language support ensures that it is suitable for a global user base.
  4. Administrative controls and access based on roles:
    • P-Dashboard includes an administrative module in which it is possible to manage profiles, cost centers, and other key settings.
    • Access to the system is controlled on a role-based basis, ensuring that only authorized users can view or manipulate certain data, thereby enhancing data security and integrity.
  5. Responsive design:
    • The dashboard is designed to be responsive and ensure optimal display and usability on both desktop computers and mobile devices.
    • The application supports a variety of display resolution and is optimized for specific browsers, and high-resolution displays to iPads.
  6. Advanced reporting and exporting:
    • Users can create customized reports based on selected indicators, time periods and locations. These reports can be exported to PDF for offline analysis and sharing.
    • The system includes functions to refresh the cache of calculations so that users always have access to the latest data.
