The project

Problem, approach and result

01

The challenge

Each department tracked its numbers in its own sheet. Payroll, purchasing and project costs lived in different places, so nobody saw the full picture until the month was already closed.

02

What I did

  • Mapped every data source and agreed one set of KPI definitions
  • Built a shared model for payroll, budgets, expenses and cash
  • Designed the dashboard around the questions managers actually asked
03

The result

Managers could check spend against budget during the month instead of after it, and payroll cost by department was visible in one place.
