Tracking revenue, margin and labour costs in one dashboard

To track revenue, margin and labour costs together, those figures must come from the same source: your accounting, your payroll and your planning. Then you see them side by side and up to date, without Excel. Choose a handful of key figures, each with a target and an owner. In Nexora, the Control Tower does this, with click-through to the source and a forecast.

Which figures do you track every week?

The cash position with the outlook for the coming weeks, revenue against budget, gross margin, outstanding receivables and the value of the sales pipeline. In a service business, the utilisation rate too. Track a handful of key figures rather than thirty, and use the same definitions every week.

Why include labour costs?

In many companies, personnel costs are the largest cost item. If overtime increases, you want to see straight away what that does to your margin, not in the monthly report.

Why one source?

A separate BI dashboard shows figures that first have to come from different systems, and they are often already out of date when you look at them. If the figures come from the systems you work in, you see a booked invoice, a logged hour or a won deal straight away.

From figure to action

A deviation becomes an action with an owner and a deadline. In the next meeting you see what has happened and what is still open.

How it works in Nexora

The Control Tower takes revenue, margin, cash, utilisation and absence straight from your accounts, HR, payroll and CRM. For each KPI you set a target and an owner. With forecasts and scenarios you look ahead, and Nora prepares a draft report with the deviations and an explanation. In the app you have the same figures on your phone.
