Visual KPI: Mobile Business Intelligence Software

Unlock Your Data — Unleash Your Potential
You have data. Lots and lots of data. Data that influences critical decisions, impacts performance, and can steer you toward success. And until now, that data has been available to you — as long as you're teethered to your desk.
But not anymore.
Visual KPI is a zero-code, mobile business intelligence application that lets you monitor key assets on any portable device.
Visual KPI is:
- Available on any web-enabled device: Get Your Data When You Want on What you want. Monitor alerts, trends, dashboards, and analytics on your smartphone, tablet, or any other portable device.
- Your data in real time: See your data, analyze on the go, and make decisions now – not one day from now. Visual KPI creates an empowered workforce with the ability to turn data into decisions quickly.
- Installed in hours – not days: Visual KPI is not a platform - it is an application. You don't need to start an expensive consulting project and hire coders to get it working.
Visual KPI unleashes your data — allowing you to monitor key assets from wherever you are and make decisions that impact millions of dollars of benefits that would otherwise remained seized.
One client, Western Power, will realize an ROI of $35 million dollars — or over 10 million dollars annually — as a result of Visual KPI’s ability to deliver valuable information about assets to decision makers company-wide.
