Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Geckoboard provides KPI dashboard software that connects to the tools a team already uses and converts the incoming data into live metrics displayed on shared dashboards. Rather than serving as an analysis environment, the product is oriented toward continuous visibility: dashboards are surfaced on office TVs, in Slack and Microsoft Teams, by email, on mobile, and in the browser, so current performance figures stay in front of the people who can act on them during the working day.

Dashboard creation follows three steps described by the company: connecting data sources so information flows in without manual exports or re-typing, defining metrics that render as a single clear number with a goal, and distributing those dashboards to the channels where teams already work. Typical dashboard content includes sales pipeline, activity and target attainment; support queue health, SLA risk, agent workload and CSAT; and dashboards for marketing, operations, finance and company-level goals. For data that is not covered by a prebuilt integration, Geckoboard offers an API and spreadsheet support.

Market position

Operates in the crowded business dashboard software market, which the company itself characterizes as containing hundreds of tools, positioning its offering in the live operational dashboard segment rather than the analytical BI segment.

Geckoboard positions itself against built-in CRM or help desk reports and against BI and reporting tools: instead of reports users must go and check, it pushes live, at-a-glance metrics automatically to shared surfaces, combines data from multiple tools in one view, and is designed for fast setup without a developer, analyst or data team.

Technology

The platform ingests data from connected business tools such as CRM and help desk systems, computes metrics with goals and comparisons, and renders live dashboards for TV displays, Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, mobile and web. An API and spreadsheet input allow custom metrics to be pushed in.

Go-to-market

Free trial and self-service onboarding, supplemented by demo scheduling and direct sales contact; content marketing assets such as a dashboard buyer's guide and dashboard examples support evaluation, and a support team plus help center assist customers with implementation.

Teams whose performance changes throughout the day, spanning sales, customer support, operations, marketing, finance and leadership functions, in both growing teams and larger organizations across industries.
