How to build custom dashboards and indicators without needing a BI analyst

Building custom dashboards and indicators without needing a BI analyst means creating visual panels with charts and metrics of your own by dragging ready-made blocks, without relying on a separate business intelligence tool or a technical specialist.

Many companies postpone important decisions because the dashboard they need doesn't exist yet, and building one from scratch means waiting for a BI analyst to be available or paying for a separate tool just to visualize data that's already in the system.

What companies are trying to solve:

Create a visual panel of company data without depending on a specialist.
Quickly add a new indicator when a new question comes up.
Choose between different chart types for the same variable.
Build more complex metrics with a formula, not just simple counts.

Complex metric	Configured with its own formula

In Jestor, building a dashboard is meant to be as simple as assembling building blocks: data already shows up clearly, and if you need more, just turn on build mode and add new indicators. You can choose different chart types with different variables, create revenue indicators in seconds, and for more complex metrics, use the formula block — just drag it in, set up the calculation, and the indicator appears on screen, with no need for a dedicated BI analyst.

Dashboard built by dragging blocks, no BI analyst required.
Revenue indicator created in seconds, already connected to the right data.
