As our company grows and evolves in an increasingly digital world, we face the
challenges of managing vast amounts of data and coordinating tasks efficiently. While robust,
most company's current Information Systems (IS) infrastructure is starting to show its limitations
with handling the demands of modern business processes. Introducing new IS solutions will not
only streamline the current and future operations but also enhance the ability for our business to
make data-driven decisions in a quick timeline. This upgrade is crucial for maintaining a
competitive edge and ensuring long-term sustainability and survivability.
Digital Dashboard with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Digital dashboards with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) provide real-time insights
that are invaluable for strategic planning. “KPIs present data in easy-to-comprehend and
comparison-ready formats to gauge or compare performance in terms of meeting an
organization's operational and strategic goals.” (Turban, 2021) Integrating digital dashboards
with KPIs enables us to achieve real-time data visibility across various operation aspects. This
will enable us to streamline operations and automate routine tasks and processes by reducing
manual intervention and errors. We can identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for
improvement across different departments. For example, tasks such as flight scheduling,
maintenance checks, and fuel management can be automated or inputted with limited resources.
This will ensure that resources are optimally allocated and at the right time. Processing
information and data will be completed with greater accuracy and speed in minimal time.
Additionally, KPIs will improve our data accuracy. We can improve our data accuracy by
ensuring consistent and accurate data collection. “KPI manager mechanisms that maintain
detailed, accurate, and relevant performance data over time ensure that KPI quality is explicitly
considered during their design and not an afterthought.” (Schage et al., 2024) Digital dashboards

equipped with KPIs ensure that data is collected consistently and accurately from various
sources. This will allow for a standardized data collection process that minimizes discrepancies
and errors. As a result of this process, our decision-making capabilities will be enhanced. We
will be able to trust the current data we are analyzing. For instance, when we can accurately track
fuel consumption and maintenance schedules, we will be able to better forecast and resource
management daily tasks. Digital dashboards provide real-time insights into performance metrics
that allows us to quickly identify trends, monitor progress, and respond to changes in the
business environment. This agility is crucial in the aviation industry, where timely decisions can
impact schedules, customer satisfaction, and overall operational efficiency. By having a clear
and comprehensive view of KPIs, managers within the company can make informed decisions
that drive performance and strategic goals. Data-driven insights that are from digital dashboards
play a considerable role in strategic planning. By analyzing KPIs, we can better understand our
company's performance in various areas and identify opportunities for growth and areas we need
to improve in. We will be able to ensure our performance metrics and strategic goals are
grounded in reality and that it is data-driven.
There are several retail vendors that offer a robust IS solutions tailored to the aviation
industry. Each IS solution has its own strengths and weaknesses. There are numerous companies
that go further into IS solutions and offer a digital dashboard with KPIs.
SAP Business Objects

reporting and analytic that can be finely tuned to our company’s needs. The program provides a
deep insight and can provide a complex data visualization that can support the decision-making
