Why interactive dashboards matter | Features that make dashboards essential | How to Get Started with Dashboards
Data is only as powerful as your ability to act on it. Interactive dashboards transform how organisations use their data to interpret and action insights.
For businesses across industries—healthcare, FMCG, government, and beyond—dashboards are helping leaders make smarter, faster decisions.
Notitia has helped organisations like Foodbank Victoria, SWSPHN, and NELSA leverage interactive dashboards to drive efficiency and improve outcomes.
In this blog, we’ll explore the power of dashboards and share real-life examples of their impact.
Why interactive dashboards matter
Interactive dashboards go beyond static reporting by allowing users to:
- Drill Down for Detail. Explore data at a granular level to uncover trends and insights.
- Customise Views. Tailor visualisations to focus on what matters most.
- Act in Real Time: Access up-to-date information for timely decisions.
For organisations like healthcare providers managing patient care or FMCG businesses tracking inventory, these capabilities can be game-changing.
Features that make dashboards essential
- Intuitive Visualisation: Charts, graphs, and heatmaps make complex data easier to understand.
- Real-Time Updates: Access the latest information as soon as it becomes available.
- Cross-Team Accessibility: Dashboards enable collaboration by providing a single source of truth.
- Performance Tracking: Monitor KPIs and measure progress against goals.
Real-Life impact: dashboard solutions
Foodbank Victoria: Optimising food distribution
Foodbank Victoria needed better insights to allocate resources where they were most needed. Notitia designed an interactive dashboard powered by Qlik Cloud Analytics (Qlik Sense SaaS) that tracked real-time food distribution data across the state. This allowed Foodbank to identify high-demand areas, ensuring faster and more targeted assistance.
SWSPHN: Improving healthcare reporting
South Western Sydney PHN wanted to streamline their Practice Incentives Program Quality Improvement (PIP QI) reporting and empower staff with deeper insights into healthcare data. Notitia built an interactive dashboard that automated their reporting process, cutting down hours of manual work and giving their team the tools to analyse patient care trends at a glance.
NELSA: Managing infrastructure projects
The North East Link State Authority needed a solution to manage data across its massive infrastructure projects. By implementing customised dashboards, Notitia enabled NELSA to track project progress, identify potential delays, and allocate resources more effectively—all from a centralised platform.
