Internal Dashboards for a GlobalAutomotive Supplier

Internal Dashboards for a Global Automotive Supplier

About the project

Making industrial data readable

Before founding Doctor Project, in 2018, I did a front-end development internship at a global automotive supplier, building internal dashboards for the teams who needed to read their data.

The Challenge

A slow dashboard is a dashboard nobody opens twice

Industrial teams have no shortage of data. What they lack is time to dig through it. A slow query or a confusing chart is a dashboard nobody opens twice.

HOW WE FIX ISSUES

Google Data Studio dashboards and faster SQL

I built internal dashboards with Google Data Studio and optimized the SQL queries behind them, so they loaded fast enough to be used in daily work.

It was my first lesson in something I repeat to every client today: data only has value when the person who needs it can find it and trust it. Spreadsheets reach that limit fast, as I explain in PIM vs spreadsheets.
