If you've ever found yourself stacking indicator widget after indicator widget just to show a handful of KPIs, you're not alone. It's a common dashboard design (and performance) frustration, and it's exactly what the KPI Card from QBeeQ was built to solve. What is the KPI Card? The KPI Card is a free, partner-supported plugin from QBeeQ that provides an alternative to the native indicator widget, but with a lot more flexibility. Where Sisense's built-in indicator is limited to one primary and one secondary metric, the KPI Card lets you consolidate multiple metrics, trend indicators, and time-series sparklines into a single compact widget. The result is cleaner dashboards, less cognitive overload, and more context for your end users without adding more widgets.
