The Five Data Buckets That Drive Better Business Decisions

When it comes to measuring business performance, knowing what to track is just as important as how to track it. At RCI, we help businesses focus on five key data categories that fuel real results.

1. People

Monitor staffing levels, attendance, productivity, and training effectiveness to understand your team’s performance and engagement.

2. Quality

Track product or service defects, rework rates, and performance indicators to ensure consistent outcomes.

3. Delivery

Understand logistics, timing, and fulfillment metrics to streamline your supply chain and meet customer expectations.

4. Cost

Analyze operational spend, identify inefficiencies, and evaluate ROI with financial data that drives smarter budgeting.

5. Safety

Especially critical in manufacturing and physical operations, safety metrics protect both people and profitability.

Why It Works

RCI builds dashboards customized for each department, so every team sees the data that matters most to them. By aligning insights across these five areas, businesses gain a full view of performance and can act faster and smarter.

Stop drowning in meaningless metrics. Start tracking what really moves the needle.
