Planning & System Architecture
GARTS EA developed an analytics dashboard for organizations in the development space that enables real-time data aggregation, monitoring, analysis and visualization of program and project level KPIs including outcomes, outputs and activities. The architecture has been designed to meet requirements for a centralized, web-based dashboard that enables automated data aggregation, seamless API integration with existing data sources, real-time monitoring and visualization, secure role-based access control, multi-level data hierarchy, and results tracking. The dashboard incorporates industry best practices in data management, security, scalability, and user experience, while paying particular attention to the sensitive nature of each individual organization’s work.
System Features
Project Management: The dashboard provides a centralized platform that helps an organization to monitor, and report on projects. It is dynamic to allow updating of project’s outputs and activities during the course of implementation.
KPI Tracker: Helps to monitor individual project’s Key Performance Indicators that show whether your organization is meeting its goals. Instead of looking at every single piece of data, you focus on the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) — the numbers that actually reflect success and Impact.
Budget Tracker: It helps to monitor how financial resources are being allocated and spent in relation to program activities, outputs, and outcomes. It helps link resources (inputs) to results, making sure funds are used efficiently, transparently, and in alignment with project objectives.
Integration Features
Data Integration: The dashboard provides for linkage and integration with existing data collection platforms to allow cross-platform navigation and access to data using API’s. The dashboard will integrate data from these common platforms that organizations deploy including: Kobo collect toolbox, Google docs, Ona.io, SurveyCTO, Commcare, etc. This ensures any data whether that is existing within organization archives can be easily digitized and stored in the system for retrieval.
Maps: Visualize data geographically so that stakeholders can understand where activities are happening, where beneficiaries are located, and how results vary across locations.
Design & Integration
The solution allows for multiple users to login and interact with the dashboard at the same time.
The key architecture comprised;
- Data Storage Layer (Secure central database)
- Processing Layer (Data validation and quality control, Analytics engine for KPI calculation)
- Presentation Layer (Real-time dashboards)
- Security Layer (Access control and authentication, Data encryption, Audit trails)
- Integration Layer (APIs for third-party systems, Data export/import functionality)
