OKRify’s Key Performance Indicators(KPIs) can be used to track key metrics based on data from a Salesforce object to track a user, team or company’s performance. KPIs can be pinned to a User and/or team’s hub to continuously monitor metrics that matter to your business. KPIs can also be used to automatically update Key Result progress.
OKRify provides two types of KPIs – Simple and advanced KPIs.
Simple KPI: based on one metric. Example: Number of Leads for European Team, Sum of Closed Opportunity Amount for North America team, Average deal size for Asia team.
Advanced KPI: based on two metrics and a formula can be set to calculate a KPI. Example: Opportunity Won Ratio, Qualified Lead Ratio, Opportunity Lost Ratio.
