How it works
From data source to needle
A short, reliable path: your data, prepared securely on our side, brought to life by discreet electronics in the base and shown on the original instrument cluster. No screens pretending to be gauges.
The signal path
Your data sources
Wherever your KPI already lives. New sources are added on request.
- GA4
- BigQuery
- PostgreSQL
- Firestore
- Accounting & CRM systems
- Fleet & telematics
- Your own systems
Prepared on our side
Your numbers are collected, calculated and kept up to date on our side, on the schedule you choose, or the moment they change when you need real time.
- Refresh on your schedule
- Real time when it matters
- Access stays under your control
The heart in the base
Discreet, silent electronics hidden in the base bring the original cluster back to life. Your company's systems and passwords never leave your control, and nothing sensitive lives inside the device.
- Connects to your office Wi-Fi
- Every needle individually calibrated to its dial
- Original button & period rotary switch
Original gauges
The needles, lighting and warning lights, working through the cluster's original connectors.
- Unmodified electronics
- Custom dial faces
- Redline & warning light
Control
Switch KPIs with the original trip button
A short press on the cluster's own trip button cycles through your KPI sets, for example marketing in the morning and finance after lunch. The Signature edition can add an original rotary switch in the base to pick the period: today, month to date, quarter, year.
- Several KPI sets per unit
- Periods such as today, MTD, QTD, YTD
- Auto-rotation mode for reception areas and showrooms
Alerts
Into the redline when it matters
Set a threshold for every KPI. When the number crosses it, for example ROAS dropping below target or cash above plan, the needle sweeps into the redline and an original warning light comes on. You notice it from across the room.
- Upper and lower thresholds per KPI
- Original warning lights, repurposed
- Optional quiet hours
Configuration
A private panel for every dial
After delivery you get your own configuration panel. Each gauge is set up separately in a browser: which number it shows, what it means and how it sits on the dial. A live preview shows the gauge with today's value before you save.
- Choose the data source and the number behind each dial
- Units: currency, %, count, km, ratio or your own label
- Fit your KPI range to the dial, including scales like ×1000
- Set where the redline starts and when the warning light comes on
- Choose how the needle moves, from brisk to gently damped
- Decide how often each number refreshes
Reversible
We plug in, we don't cut
The original circuit boards stay untouched. Everything connects through the cluster's own connectors, so the cluster can be removed from the base and fitted back into a car at any time. That also protects its value as a collector's part.
- No soldering on original boards
- Original connectors and wiring logic
- Documented, reversible assembly
Questions we hear often
Does it need a computer running next to it?
No. The unit only needs power and your office Wi-Fi. Everything else happens on our side.
How often do the needles update?
You choose, per gauge. Most business numbers are refreshed every few minutes, since they rarely change faster than that. Where it matters, a new value can arrive the moment it happens.
What if my data sources change?
That's what the data subscription is for. We keep every connection running, renew access and adapt when your systems change.
Is my data safe?
Your company's systems and passwords stay under your control and are never stored in the device. The unit only ever receives the final numbers it displays, and we ask for read-only access wherever your systems allow it.
Can I use gauges from my own car?
Yes. Send us a cluster you own, for example after a dashboard upgrade, and we'll build around it. It will stay reversible.
Try the panel yourself
Open the live demo: assign KPIs from a sample online shop to the dials of an original cluster, set scales, thresholds and colours, and watch the needles move. No account needed.
