Zebra BI presents Cards: a game-changer for visualizing KPIs in Power BI

Zebra BI, the Actionable Reporting leader leveraging visualizations in Excel and Power BI to extract real-time insights, has launched the new Power BI visual Zebra BI Cards. The new visual is transforming the way of presenting the company’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), empowering users to immediately gain insights into how well their business is doing. Cards visual is the next step in the firm’s mission towards understandable and actionable data visualization, thus setting an important milestone for the fast-growing Zebra BI.

Nine out of ten companies struggle with understanding their data, Gartner report shows. If you combine that with a rapidly shorter attention span and messy report landing pages, getting the right information that users need in a short time can pose a huge obstacle in making meaningful management decisions.

Business leaders need to see immediately not only what is happening in their business, but also why are certain outcomes achieved and what action should they take next. The Cards visual enables users to overcome those problems by providing powerful functionalities like comparison with trendline, drill-through, dynamic comments, focus mode, scaling options, and more, that offer additional context and explanation in a matter of a few clicks.

Visualizations built with Cards guide viewers to understand where to focus attention and also answer the question of what is happening with the performance of indicators. If the quick glance does not provide sufficient information, detailed analysis for deeper understanding is available, to ensure minimum action distance. Cards, the third custom Power BI visual from Zebra BI works on top of preexisting Zebra BI Charts and Tables, offering a seamless Actionable Reporting experience.

“Cards will change the way meetings are done,”
believes Andrej Lapajne, the founder and CEO of Zebra BI.

“Traditionally, KPIs employ the poorest data visualization methods. They are usually presented by big annoying numbers, which is not what business users want. The top management expects a really quick overview of the performance of their KPIs and later needs a deeper understanding, so the discussion on how to act upon it can take place immediately. Cards visual stands for all of that, which is why I believe, it makes reports actionable,” explains Lapajne.
