The most successful cannabis retailers are the ones who make data-informed decisions.
That's why we’re excited to introduce the Executive Summary Dashboard — the new data visualization feature in Flowhub Maui designed to help multi-location dispensaries effectively track and analyze performance across all stores.
The Executive Summary Dashboard provides cannabis retail executives and management teams with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) at a glance. With the ability to see real-time trends and compare data across store locations over time, you’ll better understand sales patterns and gain the business intelligence to maximize, personalize, and localize customer experiences.
Make dispensary business decisions faster
The Executive Summary Dashboard provides cannabis retailers with immediate business insights. Because the dashboard lives within the Flowhub Maui application, it’s readily accessible.
Plus, the dashboard doesn’t require you to download your data or run it through an external system (but you can still do that if you’d like). There are no extra clicks or middle steps needed to see how your business is performing.
You can even hover over any chart or graph with your mouse and see detailed information across every dataset — no clicking necessary!
Not only does this dashboard make daily reporting more visually appealing with real-time graphs, it’s also far easier to consume and analyze that data in a single glance.
For dispensary owners and executives with busy schedules, this instant transparency into overall performance across dispensary locations is crucial. There’s no time wasted, so you can quickly find the data point you’re looking for and respond in a timely manner.
Visualize your most important data points
The Executive Summary Dashboard gives cannabis retailers an instant view into real-time business performance. With an enhanced visual design, it’s easier than ever to check the pulse of your stores, either aggregated or specified by location.
Below are the key data points you can track and view in the Executive Summary Dashboard.
