What is a
Product Dashboard for Banks
? Product Dashboards are considered operational analysis tools and are used by executives and product managers to monitor KPIs across regions and revenue categories. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard is that it enables monitoring of metrics across five different areas, including: 1) Geographic map with revenue by branch, 2) Revenue distribution by product, such as: capex loans, home loans, debt restructuring, commercial property loan, credit cards, vehicle financing, 3) Declined versus approved loans by branch, 4) Default amount by branch, and 5) Default amount by product. You find an example of this type of dashboard below.
Purpose of
Financial Product Dashboards Banks use Financial Product Dashboards to give leaders a real time snapshot of the health of the business across their product lines. When used as part of good business practices in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) departments, a company can improve its product strategies, and it can reduce the chances that poor visibility to performance results in slower or sub-optimized decisions.
