Inventory dashboard
Manage your stock with real-time data
Say goodbye to outdated spreadsheets. Hector dashboards give you real-time analytics, full visibility into your inventory and decisions backed by your data.
What is an inventory dashboard?
An inventory dashboard is a visual representation of your key stock data: levels, reorder points and supply-chain performance, brought together in one place. It lets you track your key performance indicators (KPIs) and decide based on your database, whatever your industry.
Many organizations start with an Excel template for their inventory list. But as volumes grow, this manual tracking hits its limits: you need to move to an automated tool that collects data and updates it in real time.

Excel or Hector dashboard?
Managing inventory in a spreadsheet is time-consuming and error-prone. Excel and Google Sheets allow some visualization, but at the cost of manual entry, complex formulas and constant updates. Hector dashboards automate collection, refresh in real time and integrate with your data sources.
| Criteria | Hector dashboard | Excel dashboard |
|---|---|---|
| Data updates | Automatic, real time | Manual, quickly outdated |
| Entry and calculations | Automated, no formulas to maintain | Complex formulas, re-entry |
| Data sources | Native integrations and API | Manual import and copy-paste |
| Inventory KPIs | Ready to use (value, turnover, reorder) | Build them yourself |
| Reliability | Centralized, reliable data | Formula errors, multiple versions |
| Collaborative work | Shared, up-to-date access for all | Duplicated files, version conflicts |
| Scaling | Suited to large volumes | Quickly hits its limits |
