Problem

Reporting lived in multiple tools, leading to repetitive exports, inconsistent metrics, and slow decision cycles.

Problem

  • Reporting scattered across multiple tools
  • Manual weekly formatting wastes time
  • No consistent dashboard structure across accounts

Goals

  • One unified dashboard layout
  • Reusable reporting presets
  • Faster insight discovery with clear hierarchy

Constraints

  • Many platforms, inconsistent metrics
  • Must work as white-label
  • Must scale for multiple clients/workspaces

Research & Competitive Scan

Reviewed analytics platforms, reporting tools, and team workflows to identify where current dashboards break down.

  • Benchmarked SaaS reporting dashboards
  • Studied weekly reporting rituals and handoffs
  • Audited how teams triage performance issues
  • Mapped workflow bottlenecks across tools

Product Strategy & Information Architecture

Defined a clear module hierarchy so teams could jump between presets, segments, and exports without losing context.

Strategy centered on a predictable layout: global filters, performance summary, channel modules, and a clean export-ready view. This ensured repeatable reporting across clients and reduced time spent re-formatting.

  • Sitemap built around role-based entry points
  • Module decisions aligned to weekly review rituals
  • Preset structure locked to consistent KPI order

Design System & Branding

Aligned brand rules with the existing site system and ensured all dashboards inherit the same tokens across light and dark themes.

  • Logo usage for white-label instances
  • Color tokens for KPI states
  • Typography scale for scanning
  • Spacing system for modular layouts
  • Component rules for widgets and tables

UX Flows & SOP / Documentation

Defined SOPs and QA rules to keep metrics consistent, with documentation to support automated reporting.

SOPs included naming conventions, data quality checks, and escalation paths so the dashboard stays reliable across workspaces. UI scripts guided how filters and drilldowns behave per platform.

Project Management & Challenges

Balanced scope and timing while coordinating across product, data engineering, and operations.

  • Scoped modules to align with delivery windows
  • Coordinated with data engineering on metric parity
  • Managed feedback loops from client stakeholders
  • Kept UI patterns consistent across templates
Challenge

Each client wanted a custom layout, risking fragmentation of the design system.

Solution

Introduced a preset library with adjustable modules and locked KPI ordering to keep reporting consistent.
