About this live dashboard example

This is the morning screen for Example Flooring Ltd, a made-up commercial flooring subcontractor in Greater Manchester. Every figure is a real sum over its sample quotes, jobs and invoices: the pipeline, win rate, overdue valuations, retention still held and CIS deducted this tax year. The buttons in "Needs your attention" change those records, so chase a quote or mark an invoice paid and the figures move. Price a job in the quoting demo and it turns up here as your quote.

A dashboard built for you would read your own Xero, spreadsheets and job records instead. See custom dashboards and reporting for how we build them.
