Dashboards

What This Section Does

The Dashboards section gives you a dynamic view of key performance metrics that update automatically as new data becomes available. Each Dashboard is tailored to a specific use case or goal, helping you monitor what matters most and take action quickly.

Dashboards are designed for continuous use — you can revisit them daily to track performance, compare competitors, or identify new trends without rebuilding reports each time.

• View real-time, auto-refreshing data
• Save multiple Dashboards to your Sidebar for different views or teams
• Export Dashboard data as a CSV for deeper offline analysis

Key Dashboards

Currently, two Dashboards are available in Almanac:

Store Performance Dashboard

The Store Performance Dashboard helps you understand where resources can be optimized across your network. It highlights stores seeing a decline in demand versus those showing growth, enabling you to redirect resources efficiently. By tracking performance changes, you can capitalize on strong markets while reducing waste where demand has slowed.

• Spot underperforming or overperforming stores
• Identify shifts in consumer traffic
• Rebalance staffing, inventory, or marketing budgets accordingly

Competitor Benchmarking Dashboard

The Competitor Benchmarking Dashboard helps you evaluate your stores against nearby competitors. You can select a set of competitor brands and define a radius, ensuring a like-for-like comparison between locations.

The Dashboard then:

• Finds the closest and most relevant benchmark for your stores
• Summarizes performance over time, segmented by state or site type
• Shows your market share relative to competitors

This view gives a clear, data-backed picture of where your brand stands in its local context.

Key Features

Across all Dashboards, you can use the same global tools available elsewhere in Almanac:

• Segments – Filter your analysis to focus on specific store groups.
• Benchmarks – Compare your brand against competitors or peer groups.
• Date Range & Time Comparison – Analyze how performance changes over time.

Dashboards also act as a gateway to deeper analysis. When you click a Location or Brand within a Dashboard, you’ll move directly to that Analysis Page with your current filters — Segments, Benchmarks, and Date Range — still applied.

Use Cases

• Monitor overall brand performance across markets
• Track the success of new store openings or campaigns
• Benchmark locations against competitors in nearby areas
• Identify where to reallocate resources to meet demand

Next Steps

• Explore the Store Performance Dashboard to identify where demand is shifting.
• Use the Competitor Benchmarking Dashboard to assess your market position.
• Save your favorite Dashboards to the Sidebar for quick access.
