KPI screens are a form of digital signage that can display the information your business needs exactly where and when you need it. Don’t waste your time fumbling around searching for critical business data. Instead, put it in full view of all your teams—and boost productivity and alignment.
With digital signage in offices and digital displays in factory floors or warehouses you’ll ensure that no team member ever loses track of your key performance indicators (KPIs). What’s more, you can use the same displays to recognize staff performance, deliver important announcements, and a whole lot more too.
In this article, we’ll show you how you can put your KPI screens to use with Yodeck, as well as some of the proven benefits you can expect.
What Can KPI Screens Be Used For?
KPI dashboards are versatile screens that you can use to align your teams, improve productivity, and just make life easier.
Here’s a taster of what your displays can do.
- First up, display your business performance. The core function of your KPI screens will be to share your company’s progress. Highlight key data, track goals, and showcase your successes. By integrating your display with task management or performance tracking software, you can share real-time performance data too.
- Deliver presentations showcasing KPIs, progress, and your business’s values and history. Digital displays aren’t just limited to live data. You can use it to deliver sales presentations or support team meetings too.
- Use your office KPI screens as signage for events. Digital displays are as versatile as you need them to be. Want to offer guidance through wayfinding digital signage or practical information when you’re hosting an event? Your KPI dashboard can do that as well.
- Manage meeting rooms. Prevent bottlenecks and confusion by easily managing bookings with conference room digital signage. Show when rooms are occupied and display future availability with Google Calendar integrations.
- Make announcements and share emergency information. Your staff will be used to looking to digital screens for information. Use them to share news, upcoming events, and any emergency announcements.
