Real-Time Analytics Dashboard Development
Real-time analytics dashboards. Replace 12 tabs with one screen updating every 2 seconds. From $8K.
What You Get
See What's Happening Right Now (Not Yesterday)
A SaaS founder told us: "I was making decisions based on data from last week because pulling reports took 3 hours." Your dashboard updates every few seconds. Revenue spiking at 2 PM? You see it. Ad campaign tanking? You know before you waste another dollar. We built this for our own CNA operations dashboard—it updates every 2 seconds and saved our team 15 hours per week.
Replace 12 Browser Tabs With One Screen
Stripe for payments. Google Analytics for traffic. Intercom for support tickets. Your database for user data. Shopify for orders. That's five tabs just to check your morning numbers. We connect everything to one dashboard. One login. One screen. Done in 30 seconds instead of 30 minutes.
Track Metrics That Actually Matter to Your Business
Off-the-shelf analytics tools track what they think matters. We build what you need. An e-commerce client needed "units sold per traffic source per product category with 7-day moving average." Google Analytics can't do that. We can. You define the metrics. We build the visualizations.
Stop Manually Building Reports Every Monday
One operations manager spent 4 hours every Monday morning pulling data into Excel, formatting charts, and emailing reports to executives. After we built their dashboard? Zero hours. Executives check it themselves whenever they want. She now spends Mondays on actual strategy instead of copy-paste.
How It Works
Discovery Call: What Numbers Do You Need?
Week 1: 60-minute call where we map out what you're currently tracking, what you wish you could track, and what decisions you make daily. We identify every data source (Stripe, Analytics, databases, spreadsheets, APIs) and sketch out the dashboard layout on a whiteboard.
Build Your Data Pipeline
Week 2-3: We connect to all your data sources and build the backend infrastructure that pulls, cleans, and processes your data. You'll see a staging version showing real numbers (but not pretty yet). We verify accuracy against your existing reports to ensure everything matches.
Design the Interface You'll Actually Use
Week 3-4: We design the dashboard interface—charts, tables, filters, date ranges—based on how you said you'll use it. You review and request changes. We iterate until the most important metrics are immediately visible and everything else is two clicks away.
Test, Train, Launch
Week 4-5: We test edge cases (what if a data source goes down?), set up automated alerts for critical thresholds, and train your team on how to use it. Then we launch. You bookmark one URL and throw away those 12 browser tabs.
Key Features
Real-Time Updates (1-5 Second Refresh)
Database queries refresh every second. Stripe payments show up in 2-3 seconds. Google Analytics updates every 5 seconds. One client watches their dashboard during product launches to see orders roll in live.
Connect Any Data Source
Stripe, PayPal, Square. Google Analytics, Mixpanel. PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB. Shopify, WooCommerce. Salesforce, HubSpot, Social Traffic CRM. Custom APIs. If it has data, we can connect it.
Custom Visualizations for Your Metrics
Need cohort retention heatmaps? Geographic revenue maps with city drill-down? Multi-axis charts showing 6 metrics at once? We build custom widgets that don't exist in off-the-shelf tools. Tell us what you need to see.
Role-Based Dashboard Views
CEOs see high-level revenue and growth. Marketing sees campaign performance and CAC trends. Support sees ticket volume and resolution times. Same data, different perspectives, proper permissions for each role.
Automated Alerts and Notifications
Revenue drops below threshold? Slack notification. Server response time too high? Email to engineering. Churn rate spikes? SMS to CEO. You define the rules. We monitor 24/7 and alert instantly before it becomes a crisis.
Export to PDF and Excel
One click exports dashboard to PDF with your branding for board meetings. Another click downloads data as CSV for analysis. Share live read-only links with investors or schedule automated weekly reports via email.
Works on Every Device
Designed for 6-inch phone screens and 27-inch monitors. Critical metrics show first on mobile. Everything else is a tap away. Check your numbers while waiting for coffee or during vacation.
Historical Trends and Comparisons
Compare this week to last week, this month to last year, or any custom date range. Moving averages, seasonality patterns, and trend analysis. One retail client discovered revenue spiked every third Thursday—their email newsletter day.
Interactive Filters and Drill-Downs
Revenue down? Filter by product category to find which one dropped. Traffic up but conversions flat? Segment by source. Click any chart to drill into underlying data without waiting for your analyst to run queries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers. If you don't see your question here, feel free to contact us.
Every project is different. Pricing depends on: number of data sources (connecting Stripe is easier than building a custom API integration), complexity of visualizations (bar charts vs. multi-axis heatmaps), number of dashboard views needed, and ongoing support requirements. Simple dashboards with 2-3 data sources start around $8K-12K. Complex enterprise platforms with 10+ sources, custom integrations, and dedicated infrastructure can run $40K-100K+. We provide a detailed quote after a 30-minute discovery call where we map out exactly what you need.
Pretty much anything with an API or database. Common ones: Stripe, PayPal, Square (payments). Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude (user tracking). PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB (databases). Shopify, WooCommerce (e-commerce). Salesforce, HubSpot, Social Traffic CRM (customer data). Custom REST APIs for proprietary systems. If you have data somewhere and it has an API, we can probably connect it. If it doesn't have an API, we'll find another way.
Depends on the data source. Database queries update every 1-2 seconds. Stripe payments show up within 2-3 seconds. Google Analytics updates every 5 seconds (that's their API limit). Most other sources refresh every 5-15 seconds. We're limited by how fast the source provides data, not our system. For context: that's still infinitely faster than checking manually or waiting for daily reports.
Absolutely. Businesses change. Your dashboard should too. After launch, you can request new visualizations, additional data sources, or modified layouts. Professional and Enterprise packages include ongoing support for changes. Starter package clients can purchase add-ons as needed. Most additions take 1-3 days depending on complexity.
Yes. We design every dashboard to work on any screen size—27-inch monitors down to iPhone screens. The layout adapts automatically. Most important metrics show first on mobile. Everything else is a tap away. You can check your numbers while waiting in line for coffee (we've seen clients do exactly this).
Yes, training is included. We do a live walkthrough with your team showing how to read the dashboard, use filters, export reports, and set up alerts. We also provide documentation and video recordings. Most teams are comfortable within 15 minutes—dashboards are designed to be intuitive. Ongoing support is included if questions come up later.
We build in error handling and monitoring. If a data source goes offline, you'll see a status indicator (not a broken dashboard). We get automatic alerts when APIs fail and fix connection issues usually within a few hours. For major API changes from providers, we update integrations at no charge—that's part of our ongoing support.
Very. All data transfers use encrypted connections (TLS/SSL). We never store your raw data—we query it in real-time or cache aggregated results temporarily. Dashboards require authentication (you control who has access). For Enterprise clients, we can implement additional security layers like IP whitelisting, SSO, or dedicated infrastructure. We can also sign BAAs for healthcare clients or comply with specific industry requirements.
Yes, on Enterprise plans. We can remove Social Traffic branding and apply your logo, colors, and domain. Some agencies use this to offer analytics dashboards as a service to their clients. We handle the technical infrastructure—you charge your clients however you want.

What Our Clients Say
"We replaced 5 different analytics tools with one custom dashboard. Our team makes decisions 3x faster now."
"Before this dashboard, I was spending 15+ hours every week manually pulling reports from different systems. Now I open one screen and see everything in real-time. It's completely changed how we run operations at CNA. We can spot issues within minutes instead of finding out days later."
