# Logistics KPI dashboard: one version of the numbers **Key question:** Why does every department bring different numbers to the meeting? Operations calculates productivity one way, finance calculates cost another, and sales looks at its own spreadsheet. Every report is built by hand, takes days and nobody fully trusts it. Meetings are spent arguing about the data. ## What we analyze - Which KPIs are used today, how they're calculated and where they come from. - Differences in criteria between departments and where they originate. - Data quality: gaps, duplicates and codes that don't match. - Which decisions each report supports, and how often. ## Decisions it supports - Agree on a single definition for each KPI. - Automate the reports that are built by hand today. - Give each manager the information they need without having to ask for it. - Catch deviations in time, not at month-end. ## Common findings These are patterns we see often, not guaranteed results. What we find in your operation may be different. - Much of the reporting effort goes into preparing data, not analyzing it. - Differences between departments usually come from different definitions, not from mistakes. - Some KPIs are calculated every month and support no decision at all. - **Typical data:** ERP, WMS, TMS, each department's spreadsheets and your current reports - **KPIs:** The ones your company uses, defined and documented - **Related service:** Operations dashboard
