Area Performance Monitoring Tool


Our Area Performance Monitoring tool component uniquely displays trends in key statistical indicators between geographical areas and over time.


This powerful tool consists of a main report building and analysis tool that allows any user to create new or load existing “Performance Charts”, and an administration tool for administrators to create and manage the indicators available in the system.



There are five different data ranges, which enable performance to be compared geographically and the data is typically categorised as one of the following:

  • Excellent (Dark Green)
  • Good (Light Green)
  • Average (Yellow)
  • Poor (Orange)
  • Very Poor (Red)

The heights of the bars provide a measure the relative offset between the statistic and the benchmark (not the actual value of the statistic). Using both the bar colour and the bar height for one statistic, you can compare the relative performance of different geographical areas.


In addition, using our performance monitoring tool you can compare data over time and present this information on the same chart. This enables the visualisation of how individual areas are changing over time (are they performing?!). In the above image, these are the diamonds with lines linking these diamonds to the current performance. It is an extremely powerful data visualisation and analytical tool as the improvements in individual areas is presented in context with the relative performance of other geographical areas.


The system also supports several more detailed views to enable users to explore and analyse the data more comprehensively. Have a look at the GEDI demo to see the Area Performance Monitoring Tool in action.
