Intuitive visual cue for trends overview

This helps you to spot high-performing or underperforming areas immediately.

Strategic overview of key annual KPIs 

Whether you’re comparing revenue vs. EBITDA or any other financial metrics, you can now visualize the long-term trajectory and assess the quality of growth in seconds. 

This is especially powerful in small multiples by instantly showing which business areas are accelerating, stagnating, or declining.

Tell a clear story behind your KPI trends faster.

 

Smarter decisions in sales analysis

When analyzing sales across categories, markets, or regions, short-term fluctuations can often hide the true story. CAGR arrows cut through the noise and highlight what’s really happening over time. 

With just one glance, you’ll see which areas are on track and which ones require a strategic shift.

Drive action based on clear visual signals.

Clarity in business reporting

CAGR arrows are also widely used to track metrics like ARR in the SaaS industry and to understand portfolio performance. They make it easy to prioritize investment, allocate resources, and spot red flags early.

By applying CAGR arrows to your key KPIs or product portfolio dashboards, you gain a strategic lens for evaluating business health.

Focus your attention on where it matters most.

Why it matters? 🎯

The new CAGR arrow lets you: 

  • Instantly understand long-term performance beyond short-term volatility
  • Compare annual KPIs and identify growth quality
  • Prioritize investments and uncover potential risks
  • Enhance small multiples with strategic context
  • Make smarter, more confident decisions faster
