Stop rebuilding the report
If your morning ritual is copying numbers from sheets and chats into a deck, you are the integration layer — and that does not scale.
These five KPIs belong on one dashboard, fed by the same system your team updates in real time.
1. Open requests by priority
Why: Tells you if procurement is underwater before branches escalate.
Healthy: Critical/high items have owners and ages; nothing silent over 48h.
2. Dispatches in transit
Why: Your cash and customer promises are on the road.
Healthy: You can name count, routes, and aging buckets (same-day vs overdue).
3. Deliveries completed (rolling 7 days)
Why: Throughput beats anecdotes in leadership meetings.
Healthy: Trend up or stable; investigate dips by branch, not globally vague.
4. Low-stock alerts by branch
Why: Stockouts are almost always a visibility problem before they are a supply problem.
Healthy: Alerts are actionable — tied to incoming dispatches or open requests.
5. Approval cycle time
Why: Slow approvals stall everything downstream.
Healthy: Median time visible; outliers identifiable by approver or category.
What this requires technically
KPIs only work if:
- Requests, dispatches, and inventory live in one database
- Roles see organization-scoped data (RLS)
- Field teams actually update status (mobile-friendly UX)
That is why DispatchFlow leads with the dashboard — not as an afterthought to modules nobody uses.
Make it your morning habit
Open the dashboard before email. If a number is wrong, fix the process — not the slide.
Create your workspace and configure branches in onboarding.
