Best White-label dashboard templates for marketing teams and agencies (2024)

What is a white-label dashboard?

A white-label dashboard is an interface tool that consolidates data from multiple sources (e.g., CRM systems, financial software, customer support platforms) to track and display key performance indicators (KPIs) (e.g., customer satisfaction, revenue growth, support ticket resolution), enabling businesses to monitor performance and create presentations for clients and stakeholders.

White-label dashboards are typically built using flexible tools like Google Looker Studio, Power BI, Google Sheets, or platform-specific solutions to enable high customization and integration of multiple data sources.

What to include in a white-label dashboard?

An actionable white-label dashboard balances context and specificity based on the audience (executives, managers, and analysts) and their use cases.

Executive white-label dashboards

Executive dashboards for CEOs, CFOs, and clients show the business's bottom-line impact. Reviewed weekly, monthly, or quarterly, they include:

• Financial performance analysis: revenue, profit margins, and cost analysis.
• Customer metrics: customer acquisition cost (CAC), lifetime value (LTV), and retention rates.
• Operational efficiency: process optimization and resource allocation.
• Add text for additional context to translate metrics for non-technical audiences. Present in slide decks and simplified Looker Studio reports.

Managerial white-label dashboards

Manager dashboards have cross-departmental views with drill-downs to see performance by team, project, region, and product line. They help align teams, define strategies, and include:

• Cross-departmental reporting: overall performance across departments.
• Goal tracking: compare current performance vs objectives.
• Audits for prioritization and spotting issues.
• Competitive analysis for market positioning and strategy.
• Customer feedback and satisfaction research

Operational white-label dashboards

Operational dashboards for analysts and managers have granular, customizable KPIs to solve technical issues. Monitored hourly, daily, or weekly, they cover:

• Customer support: ticket resolution times, customer satisfaction scores.
• Sales: lead conversion rates, sales cycle length.
• Product: defect rates, production efficiency.
• IT: system uptime, incident response times.

Operational white-label dashboards are highly customized, built in flexible tools like Google Sheets or Looker Studio to enable data cleaning, blending, annotations, and integrating multiple sources.
