What happens after you release a product? You made it smart, and it can collect data and connect to the Internet, but are you still connected to it? Is that “smart” product still helping you with its capabilities, or has it fallen into the void, leaving you without feedback?
A regular dashboard can handle some of these duties for you, collecting information from your devices so that you can analyze it. But dashboards possess far more potential than just that: executive dashboards like SiD™ from Plasma are tools that give your company full Big Data capability.
Executive dashboards might not seem like a big deal to you at first if you’re only used to regular dashboards. Sure, they collect data from your devices to display to you. That’s great, but it doesn’t seem like very much, right? Executive dashboards, however, take an active as well as passive role in your Big Data capabilities. Instead of just collecting and displaying data, executive dashboards from SiD™ allow you to analyze and manage your data in a plethora of ways. SiD™ does all of the work for you.
SiD’s executive dashboards can collect, mash up and display incoming data in meaningful ways depending on who in your company needs it. R&D can receive information about what features of your product are used the most and where most failures occur while marketing can see where most of your products are operating and what demographics are using them the most. If you find a vulnerability or need to make a recall, you can push those updates straight out to all connected devices, saving time and money. A normal dashboard just displays data; SiD’s executive dashboards analyze data and make it actionable.
The real benefit of executive dashboards is just how much power they grant you over all of your data on both the macro and micro level. Different data streams can be brought together in innumerable ways to pave the way for inspirational analysis and brilliant innovation. In addition, the data streams that SiD™ brings through your executive dashboards can become a whole new product. Consumers can buy new streams to display on their devices, like news maps for a GPS in a “smart” car or an app for any sort of connected device. Data you collect on usage habits and more can be sold to other entities for a subscription-based fee. Your data is an asset, and SiD’s executive dashboards give you complete power over it so that you can leverage it to its greatest potential for your business.
SiD’s executive dashboards give you unparalleled control over your data, bringing in new data, managing it, analyzing it, making it actionable and more. SiD™: take control of your data.
Client Says
We are implementing Plasma Ag Solutions across our network of locations. Plasma Ag provides several capabilities that stand out for our users such as Programs, Rebate management, and Inventory tracking. It is quite difficult to track margin information on crop protection products in our industry so our Owner Operators love the transparency the system provides. We utilize the system to professionalize our support to the network and it has become a bit success with all of them.
Several hundreds of our retail locations and joint ventures use Plasma Ag solutions as a part of their core operations. Plasma solutions provide very useful tools and deep insights to users – including tracking customer transactions and financial information. Their applications are tightly integrated with CRM, ERP, Accounting, and our other mission critical IT infrastructure and third-party systems. The dashboards provide rich analysis and insights that helps us adjust to the changing markets.
Plasma Ag solutions have been a tremendous asset to our operations. They offer powerful capabilities such as managing Retail programs, Products, Programs, local discounts, and wraps. Ability to track inventory at physical locations, calculating true and average costs, rebates and accruals on user-friendly and simple interfaces has helped us and our retail customers adopt Plasma Ag solutions quickly.
Our software, system and processes used to be an old struggling engine. Plasma team solved all that. With exceptional training and planning, their consultative executive team down to their support team executed the deployment with first-class speed and professionalism. Their platform not only removed all the pain points in my division, but also created a ripple effect benefiting my entire company.
It has been my experience that Plasma has the technical expertise, commitment, and work-ethic to deliver best-in-class solutions that allow business owners to fully realize business strategies and objectives. They work in a highly professional manner to ensure that the clients’ requirements and recommendations are fully realized. I would highly recommend Plasma for any web enablement initiative that you may be considering.
Plasma has been a smart choice for us as our online business partner. I don’t even consider our work with them outsourcing because Plasma management takes the time to truly understand our business and is able to direct its technology resources for the most efficient and quality output possible. I don’t think you can say that about many companies in their space.
Plasma has been a smart choice for us with our online requirements. I would recommend them to any company looking to better manage their online presence.
It has been my pleasure to work with the Plasma Team since August 2008. We have completed three major builds and multiple smaller projects in this time. I heartily recommend Plasma Comp to anyone needing a workable, practical and effective system solution. Plasma’s Q&A process was extremely thorough. They quickly understood what was needed and then worked the process with pointed and penetrating questions to ensure they had the entire picture of the finished product.
I think Plasma has come a long way in embracing our philosophy of becoming more agile, both leading and following in this area when necessary. The teams have been very open to change and have a great attitude. I have no complaints!
Plasma is a great vendor to work with. They took us from an email-based process to a fully designed, web-based workflow. They have dramatically changed how our devices are certified to be used on our network and they will save you time as well! One of the many processes in our current environment has saved us so much time; from four months down to a few days!
