Franchise Analytics Power BI Dashboard: 20% Lead Conversion Increase in 6 Months
Industry
Custom Closet Franchise
Region
USA
Source System
Proprietary Ops System (PDF)
Platform
Power BI Desktop
A custom closet franchise was generating valuable operational data lead sources, appointment outcomes, designer performance, sales pipeline - but had no way to access it analytically. The proprietary system only exported to PDF. Numlytics built an end-to-end franchise analytics Power BI dashboard from automated PDF extraction to a live sales KPI dashboard increasing lead conversion by 20% and growing total sales by 12% within six months.
The Challenge: Valuable Data Locked in a Proprietary System
The client had no real-time sales dashboard franchise capability. Without lead conversion tracking Power BI, the owner couldn't identify which lead sources were performing, which designers were closing most effectively, or where appointments were dropping out of the pipeline.
-
No data access: The operational system had no analytics capability the only export was PDF, making any franchise analytics Power BI work seemingly impossible
-
No lead source visibility: Facebook, Google, and Instagram leads were all tracked separately with no unified conversion view
-
Marketing spend wasted: Without lead conversion tracking Power BI, budget was allocated to channels based on gut feel, not data
-
Designer performance invisible: No consistent KPI framework existed to identify top performers or coaching opportunities
The Numlytics Solution:
Numlytics designed a complete Power BI consulting small business solution, solving the PDF data extraction problem with automation, then building a live sales KPI dashboard that displayed on screens in the franchise office for real-time daily visibility.
-
Automated PDF Data Extraction
Numlytics built AutoIt automation scripts to extract data from the client's operational system PDF outputs on a daily schedule, solving the core data access challenge. This is the foundation of the franchise analytics Power BI pipeline.
-
Data Staging & Cleansing
Extracted PDF data cleaned, structured, and loaded into a consistent data model, resolving inconsistencies in raw PDF output and building the analytical foundation for the real-time sales dashboard franchise.
-
