Retail scenarios have evolved into many formats and types and representing data meaningfully for each of them has become a challenge.

- Integrated Visibility
Dashboards are important for the clients as they help them to gain complete insight on their operations and decide on the action items. A complicating factor is that most dashboards have multiple audiences.

Therefore, try to prioritize the audiences so conflicts can be more easily handled. A purpose filled dashboard can serve many purposes like it can help the clients to understand about the attention areas, help the clients gain complete visibility on what measures needs to be taken and how they can improve the customer experience in their outlets.

A productive mystery shopping dashboard should enable viewing of store level reports which lets the client deep dive into the reports submitted by the auditor. The reports should help the client identify the performance of outlets on different parameters defined in the questionnaire. By doing a depth analysis the client can identify the low performing areas/attention areas in which improvement is required.
- Actionable Reports
Actionable reports are cumulative presentation of the responses and proofs collected during an audit. Through the reports client will get access to the graphical representations of the overall score obtained by an outlet, overview of scores achieved in each of the sections. Through the actionable reports the client will gain insight about the attention areas which will help them in understanding the gaps and the improvement areas.
