NEXTGEN DASHBOARDS
An end-to-end solution that covers everything from transformation, storage, and visualization of data.
What are the dashboards about?
We handle data loading, consolidation, harmonization, segmentation, and visualization for you. You simply provide us with the required definition. Since this is an end-to-end solution, you can then spend all of your time strategizing instead of having to worry about the data being reliable and consistent.
How often do you wonder?
Is your data correct in each of its dimensions?
Is there an easier and faster way to harmonize the different databases regarding currencies, languages, typos, time periods and more?
What’s the best way to combine data coming from different data providers?
What would it be like to see the changes you need reflected in the data instantly, instead of having to wait weeks or even months?
Is there a way to add those product characteristics (attributes) which you know should be there but can’t get from your data provider?
Is the data you work with precise and consistent over time, providing reliable and trustworthy analysis?
Our Solution
With the NextGen Dashboards solution we take care of everything:
Data Loading
We load the data after doing quality checks.
We reach out and follow up with the data provider in case there are inconsistencies or missing data.
Data Consolidation
We enable you to combine different datasets regardless of providers, periodicity, and languages.
We prepare the data so you can do period-based analysis and find aggregated trends.
Data Harmonization
We create algorithms to classify products.
New items are automatically captured by the algorithms, guaranteeing a faster and easier classification.
Data Segmentation
We create new product characteristics (attributes) which are missing from the raw data.
While we write the logic for you, you keep full control over the final classification results.
Data Visualization
You will get state of the art dashboards built in the most powerful data solution software, Microsoft Power-Bi. And they are also fully customizable.
Data Analysis
Your dedicated NextGen team is only a phone call away for any help you might need. You will always get to talk to somebody who knows your data, a real person.

Once upon a time...
A major FMCG company was buying retail measurements data for different categories and countries where they are selling their products. Each dataset would have its own language, currency, periods (eg. weekly, monthly), geographies, measures and product characteristics (attributes).
A seemingly straightforward question from management on what the sales growth had been for the company across the total of all countries combined, made for very complex calculations. Each country would send in their (local) sales numbers, which then would be consolidated by a central team. Only to find out that often the data sent in by one country wasn’t comparable to the data sent in by the next country.
The challenge was to harmonize all data, enrich it with missing product attributes and visualize all the relevant key performance indicators in a way that the data could be instantly analysed by any user. And the delay between the datasets being delivered by the data supplier and the time that the consolidated version of this would be available for the end users, had to be minimized. Ideally to the same day.
The company partnered up with NextGen Dashboards.
With our specialized software and intimate knowledge of retail measurement data, our team has implemented an end-to-end solution. Each dataset from each country is directly uploaded to our system where we use smart algorithms to harmonize each of the different dimensions of the data (geographies, measures, periods and products). Since the customer required specific ways to filter and group the data, we added that as well. The harmonized data was then visualized in a meaningful way, using the best BI platform.
After the initial guidelines provided by the customer, all of the work was done by NextGen. This freed up time at the customer to focus on what really mattered, turning the insights into action. This better use of their time helped them outperform their key competitor. NextGen Dashboards didn’t stop after the implementation of this end-to-end solution. We continue to work with this customer to this day, as we have done for the last years, on improving ways of visualizing and interpreting their sales data. We pride ourselves not on being a data solution supplier but on being a true business insights partner.
