A central dashboard or several apps: how to choose

There is no single answer. For one simple activity, one or two tools are enough. For several activities that receive orders, messages and payments, the question really arises. Here are criteria for deciding.

When several apps are enough

• You have only one activity, with few flows.
• You are comfortable checking each tool in turn.
• You have never let a message or an order slip.

When a central dashboard becomes useful

• You follow several activities and open several tools every morning.
• You have already missed an important message because it was in another tool.
• You need a consolidated view of your revenue.
• You work mostly on a phone and want to limit apps.

What a dashboard does not replace

A central dashboard gathers and alerts. It replaces neither your sales tool, nor your payment provider, nor your accounting. It sits above them: your tools keep working as before.

Questions to ask before choosing

• How much time do you spend each day switching from one tool to another?
• What happens if you are away for three days?
• How many people need to see the information?
• Can you try it for free before committing?
