The 7 Product Updates that Topped Our List in 2016

Each December, our team likes to take a bit of time to reflect on our journey over the last 12 months. We talk about how our team has changed, how our product has changed, and which accomplishments we’re most excited about. In 2016, we added 8 new teammates and also announced quite a few major improvements to our product. In case you missed any of those product updates, here’s what you need to know about the 7 Most-Awesome Updates to BrightGauge:
# 1. Achieve your Growth Goals with Scorecards
Ever wish you had an easy, sure-fire way to hold your team accountable for their individual goals? How about a simple way to track your KPIs each week to make sure the company stays on track, rather than playing catch up later?
Done and done. BrightGauge Scorecards are the easiest way to make sure you achieve your growth goals. Here’s how they work: by assigning a KPI to an owner you are holding them accountable to ensure the number meets the goal for the week. If the goal is met, it turns green and if not, it turns red.
We have been using Scorecards at BrightGauge for quite some time and they have truly been a game changer. For those of you that follow Traction or Rockefeller Habits, this will save you TONS OF TIME! See what our CEO, Eric, has to say about the feature:
# 2. QuickBooks Online Integration
Our QBO integration gives you the ability to visualize and track your financial metrics in real time. You no longer need to wait for your P&L at the end of the month or spend hours creating a spreadsheet. When combined with any of our other integrations, you’re provided with a single view of the metrics you need to run your business. Learn more about QBO + BrightGauge.
# 3. Datto Integration
Ever wish you could seamlessly track your backups and manage the amount of data you are storing for your clients, in real time? Consider it done! Now it’s a breeze to track how much of each device is in use, how many devices are out of communication, and so much more. See what our customers think and learn more about Datto + BrightGauge
# 4. Leaderboard Gauge with Team Photos
It’s a proven fact that healthy competition helps companies significantly improve employee performance on routine tasks! That’s why we introduced the Leaderboard gauge as a way to rank your team’s performance and boost the competition.
# 5. Rotating Dashboards
With this new feature you can keep as many gauges as you need in sight. No more trying to squeeze as much as possible into one display… give your data the space it needs to shine! Learn more about rotating dashboards here.
# 6. Technician Dashboards
A great compliment to leaderboards, technician dashboards display the same metrics that a service manager would track, but are filtered to only include the data from a specific technician. See how easy it is to help focus your technician’s efforts on the right task at the right time!
# 7. Client Dashboards
Take your Client Reporting a step further with a dashboard that shows your clients the information they want, how they want it! With Client Dashboards your metrics can be shared in real time, providing the transparency that will help build trust and showcase the value your services provide.
