Build dashboards your managers open every Monday Each one starts from a decision, and its numbers match finance's
Damco agrees what each number means with the person who owns it, builds the few dashboards that serve real decisions, and ties every figure to the ledger.
Each dashboard serves one decision someone makes weekly We pick the decision first, then the chart that helps make it
DecisionWhich deals get the manager's time this week
DecisionWhether to draw on the credit line this month
DecisionWhich carrier gets next month's volume
DecisionWhich managers need support first
DecisionWhether to add a shift on Monday
DecisionWhere to move stock before it ages

Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or the tool you have The right tool is usually the one your managers already open
Microsoft 365, Azure, and a lot of Excel
- Good
- It lives in Teams, and many companies already license it with Microsoft 365.
- Watch for
- Each report can carry its own model, so numbers drift between reports.
Salesforce, and analysts who like to explore
- Good
- It's strong for exploring data visually, and it sits next to your CRM.
- Watch for
- The people who build reports need the costlier licence.
Google Cloud and BigQuery
- Good
- Every report reads from one shared model of your metrics.
- Watch for
- Someone has to build that model before the first chart.
A tool your managers already open
- Good
- We fix the definitions under it and retire what nobody uses.
- Watch for
- Moving tools rarely fixes numbers that disagree.
