How are the Dashboards useful in business?

Business managers and owners use a number of different tools to track their progress and determine how well the business is performing. The business dashboard is one of these tools that provide a snapshot of most of the important numbers needed to conduct effective business analysis. Dashboards can be used in all levels of business management but are typically most important to higher level managers who need a quick glimpse about the company.

The primary function of the dashboard used in business is similar to the function of a dashboard used in an automobile. Business dashboards provide various gauges that are readouts of how the business "engine" is performing. These gauges read what business analysts and managers call key performance indicators, or measurable numbers that are used to determine business success and failure. For example it is possible to track profitability by examining revenue forecasts and achievements are performing.
