Plecto is a data-visualization dashboard software designed to bring teams closer to a company’s data and performance. The tool promotes data-driven conversations among employees by providing deep visibility into a team’s performance and their progress toward KPIs.

Plecto integrates with more than 50 of the most-used systems across departments so data can be automatically imported into the dashboard in real-time. One of these integrations is Dashboards by Plecto for Citrix Podio, which enables you to display relevant data on the dashboard, giving you complete insight into all your projects, wherever you are.

What makes Plecto a great addition to Citrix Podio? It supports tighter collaboration among employees. Plecto’s structured data visualization provides the transparency your team needs to go the extra mile.

Let’s take a look at three of the primary benefits of Plecto’s integration with Podio and what it can deliver for your teams.

Customizable to Meet Your Needs

Podio is a customizable work management solution known for its flexibility and applicability to any industry domain and business case. Similarly, with Plecto, you can customize your dashboard as much as you want so it fits your business’ plans and needs.

Choose the KPIs you want to set for your different teams (or even for individuals) and display them on the dashboard with our customizable widgets. Then, select the data that you want to import into the dashboard and Plecto will do it automatically. Scale up your project management in real time.

Promote Data-Driven Conversations

Displaying data from various projects in the dashboard helps your team to stay up to date, wherever they are. They can follow their progress toward KPIs while keeping an eye on how other projects are performing. This promotes internal conversations about performance because the data are available and visible to the whole team.

Your employees can comment on successes and share feedback on KPIs, and they have accurate, real-time data at their fingertips and can make data-driven decisions. Now that your teams has visibility into all your projects, you should talk about them!

Celebrate Your Achievements

Another benefit of displaying your real-time Podio data is that it offers a complete view into your teams’ achievements! They can clearly see whenever a KPI has been reached, a project has been completed, and much more. That’s something to celebrate.

You can set instant notifications to trigger on your dashboard whenever someone on the team reaches a goal, enabling broader engagement in the company’s performance and progress. Whether they’re working remotely or sharing space in the office, your employees want to know what’s going on in other departments. Together, Plecto and Podio give you the perfect way to bring teams together — physically or virtually!

“Pairing the systems makes great sense for sales-oriented companies looking to boil down their CRM data or leverage competition to increase team productivity,” says Kristian Øllegaard, CEO and Co-founder of Plecto. “Yet, the systems can also be integrated and used to improve project management. In fact, our development team does just that. We use Podio to track and manage tasks, and we use Plecto to visualize and monitor progress.”
