In today's competitive landscape, making informed decisions based on data is no longer a luxury – it's a necessity.

That's where KPIs.do comes in.

Why Connecting Your Data Sources is Crucial

Think of your business data as raw potential. Sales transactions, website traffic, marketing campaign results, operational metrics – they all hold valuable information. Without a system to consolidate and analyze this data in the context of your KPIs, this potential remains untapped.

Connecting your data sources to KPIs.do provides:

Defining a KPI in KPIs.do is straightforward and powerful. As the code example demonstrates, you can easily specify the dataSource for each KPI:

import { KPI } from 'kpis.do'

const salesKPI = new KPI({
  name: 'Monthly Sales Growth',
  description: 'Percentage increase in sales compared to previous month',
  formula: '((current_month_sales - previous_month_sales) / previous_month_sales) * 100',
  unit: 'percent',
  target: 15,
  frequency: 'monthly',
  owner: 'Sales Department',
  dataSource: 'sales-database', // <-- Specifies the data source
  visualization: 'line-chart',
  alerts: [
    { condition: 'value < 0', severity: 'high', message: 'Sales declining' },
    { condition: 'value < 5', severity: 'medium', message: 'Sales growth below target' }
  ]
})

This simple dataSource parameter is the bridge between your raw data and actionable insights. KPIs.do handles the complexities of fetching, processing, and transforming the data to calculate your KPIs accurately and automatically.
