Challenge
Updating tracking studies was a nightmare involving thousands of Excel tables and countless hours checking and updating reports
As a research executive at Fifth Dimension, Julia O’Brien spends most of her time puzzling out the best way to efficiently discover and share gems of insight in large tracking datasets. This used to be quite the challenge when tracking studies meant setting up hundreds (if not thousands!) of Excel tables, often showing the same table with different filters.
Solution
Easy-to-use reporting software built for survey data that offers striking visuals, dashboards, and PowerPoint automation
Being able to do both the data processing and reporting in one easy-to-use tool helped transform Julia’s workflow. Now Displayr streamlines everything from checking and producing tables to creating interactive reports and dashboards. Even better – with her newly freed up time, Julia’s been able to experiment with creating more engaging and flexible dashboards.
Result
Saving 5 hours per week on each project, and greater control over presentations
With Displayr helping Julia streamline her tracking studies processes, she estimates she’s able to save 5 hours per week on each project. With the shift from static PowerPoint charts to online dashboards so that multiple people can work on the same project, working on tracking studies has never been more efficient.
With this extra time, Julia and her team are able to shift their focus from the manual work to what really matters for their clients – the insights.
