Dashlytics

Turn any messy spreadsheet into a dashboard with real insights in 60 seconds

What it does Dashlytics turns a messy spreadsheet into a dashboard and a plain-English read of your business in about 60 seconds. Upload a sales, inventory or campaign file. You get charts, key metrics, and a written analysis of what's working, what's leaking money, and what needs attention. No cleanup, no column mapping, no setup. The problem it solves Most small businesses run on Excel and Google Sheets. Their data is genuinely messy — inconsistent headers, half-empty columns, dates stored three different ways, twelve tabs where three are in use. Existing BI tools assume clean data and a person to configure them. Most owners have neither. So the numbers sit there unread, and decisions get made on gut feel and revenue totals — which is how a top-selling product turns out to be a loss-maker. What you actually find out - Real margin per product, after discounts, returns and fees — usually not the margin you assume - Which products contribute the most profit, not just the most revenue. The ranking often inverts. - How much capital is sitting in dead stock — products that haven't moved in 90 days - Which customers have quietly stopped buying - Where money leaks: over-discounting, unprofitable channels, high-return SKUs How it's different It reads messy files. Inconsistent headers, blank cells, merged rows, multiple sheets, mixed date formats. No mapping step. Every number is computed from your data — never generated by the model. The AI writes the explanation; the arithmetic is arithmetic. This matters if you're going to act on it. A Data Readiness score tells you how far to trust the output. It audits your file's quality, shows which analyses it could run and which it couldn't, and tells you exactly which columns to add to unlock the rest. If the data can't answer something, it says so instead of guessing. Who it's for - Retail and e-commerce operators - Distribution businesses (including batch and expiry tracking) - Marketing agencies reporting on client performance - Finance and ops teams without a dedicated analyst If your business decisions currently start with "let me pull that into a sheet," this is built for you. Works with Excel (.xlsx), CSV, Google Sheets. Try it at https://www.dashlytics.net
