Operations Dashboard Development for Ops Teams.

Spreadsheets and 8 SaaS tabs hit a wall once your ops team is making decisions across multiple sites, shifts, or workflows per day. Shipkit builds custom operations dashboards that pull data from the tools you already use, surface the metrics your team actually decides on, and replace the spreadsheet copy-paste loop with a real-time interface.

Questions founders ask

Should we build a custom operations dashboard or use Retool/Tableau?

Use Retool, Metabase, or Tableau when your data is already in one place and your team is comfortable with a generic interface. Build custom when your team is across multiple sites, you need role-based views with very different surfaces per role, or you've outgrown the BI tool's licensing costs ($30-$50 per seat per month adds up fast across an ops team). Custom dashboards also win when ops teams need to take actions inside the tool, not just view metrics.

How much does an operations dashboard cost?

A focused single-site or single-team dashboard with 3-5 data integrations starts around $8,900. A multi-site operations dashboard with role-based access, real-time data, alerts, and 8-15 integrations runs $14,900-$24,900. Enterprise scope with custom auth, SSO, audit logging, or complex permission models starts at $30,000+. Fixed price is locked before development.

What integrations are typical for a multi-site operations dashboard?

Common pulls include scheduling systems (Deputy, When I Work, Connecteam), POS or ERP (Toast, Square, NetSuite), CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce), ticketing (Zendesk, Intercom), accounting (QuickBooks, Xero), and Google Sheets or Airtable for the data your team still tracks manually. We connect via official APIs where possible and webhooks or scheduled syncs where needed.

Can field teams or site managers use the dashboard on mobile?

Yes. Mobile-friendly views are standard. Site managers, field service teams, and on-the-floor operators typically need a different surface than the executive overview — Shipkit designs role-specific views so each user sees the data and actions relevant to their job.

What about workplace operations dashboards specifically?

Workplace operations dashboards typically combine facilities, employee scheduling, vendor management, and compliance data into one ops surface. Shipkit has built dashboards in this shape and the same fixed-price model applies — scope is mapped to your team's daily decisions and locked before development.
