The Hidden Cost of DIY Dashboards

Updated: Apr 20, 2023

As a retail business owner or brand manufacturer in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry, you know the importance of data-driven decision making. But, building your own complex dashboard to analyze big data can be a costly and time-consuming exercise that leaves you frustrated and drained because it takes multiple experts to build great analytics. It's time to stop the madness and switch to Dabble Analytics, the solution that will save you time, money, and headaches.




If you are curious, here are what most Do-it-myself people regrets that makes DIY dashboards are a thing of the past:

  1. The High Price Tag: DIY dashboards may seem like a cost-effective solution at first, but the truth is, they can quickly become a money pit. According to a study by Gartner, the average cost of building and maintaining an in-house dashboard can range from $100,000 to $500,000 per year, including software licenses, development, and ongoing maintenance. That's a significant investment that could be better utilized elsewhere in your business.

  2. The Time Sink: Building a DIY dashboard is not just expensive, it's also time-consuming. It requires hiring and training skilled data analysts, developers, and designers, which can take months or even years. And even after the initial setup, ongoing maintenance and updates can eat up precious time that could be better spent on growing your business. As Steve Jobs famously said, "Your time is limited, don't waste it living someone else's life."

  3. Lack of Expertise: Retailers in Indonesia, despite their success in building a network of chain stores, may not have the necessary expertise in data analytics. Developing a complex dashboard requires knowledge of data modeling, visualization techniques, and statistical analysis, which may not be part of your skill set.

  4. Overwhelming Data Complexity: Big data can be overwhelming, and trying to make sense of it without the right tools and expertise can be a daunting task. DIY dashboards often lack the ability to process and visualize data in a way that is easy to understand and actionable. This can result in missed opportunities and poor decision-making.

  5. Trustworthy Insights: Finally, DIY dashboards may lack the accuracy and reliability needed for informed decision making. In a study by Harvard Business Review, it was found that up to 80% of business data is unstructured and unreliable, leading to incorrect conclusions and flawed strategies. Dabble Analytics, on the other hand, uses sophisticated algorithms and machine learning to process and analyze data, providing trustworthy insights and expert analysis automatically. It's like having a team of data scientists at your fingertips, without the cost and hassle of building your own dashboard.

In conclusion, DIY dashboards may seem like a cost-effective solution, but the hidden costs of time, money, expertise, data complexity, and lack of trustworthy insights make them a risky choice for retailers. Dabble Analytics offers a smarter, more efficient, and cost-effective solution for your big data analysis needs. It's time to make the switch and gain an unfair advantage over your competitors.
