That’s why, before we release any integration, we take the time to figure out which KPIs matter most to business leaders like you and we pre-build gauges, dashboards, and reports that you’ll have access to as soon as you connect to that datasource.

We do this with every single datasource so that you don’t miss out on any time you could be spending evaluating your data.

Two of our most popular integrations are ConnectWise PSA (formerly ConnectWise Manage) and ConnectWise Automate. Between these two, you’ll have access to literally hundreds of default gauges as soon as you connect!

Just ahead, we’ll tell you exactly what you can expect out of your ConnectWise PSA and ConnectWise Automate integrations.

If one of your reps is severely underperforming, it could indicate that that person may benefit from additional training or tools.

Activity Points Per Rep - Current Week

This leaderboard looks at the total number of activity points each technician has accumulated during the week, which indicates who is closing out the most amount of projects in a time period.

Currently Open Activities

- The Currently Open Activities gauge simply shows you what activities you have opened up within ConnectWise. The number on the gauge shows you the total number of activities, but if you drill down further, you’ll find the company name, contact name, subject, and the technician the activity has been assigned to.

Having this data readily available in BrightGauge saves you the trouble of toggling between windows or logging in and out of multiple accounts to get all the information you’re looking for.

Currently Open Opportunities
