Data-Driven Insights: Payment Platform
Ever wondered what goes into crafting the ultimate dashboards for something as intricate as a nationwide payment system? Well, let me pull back the curtain for you.
During my time as a Lead Product Manager with the large payment processing program, I had the unique chance to dive headfirst into this fascinating world. From mobile apps to point-of-sale systems, card-present to card-not-present transactions, I got to play in all these sandboxes — and let me tell you, it is as challenging and thrilling as you can imagine!
Collaborating hand-in-hand with stakeholders, my team did not just juggle numbers and graphs; we transformed those raw data points into actionable insights that significantly impacted revenue. And here is the kicker — we started from ground zero, building everything from scratch. This gave me unparalleled insights into how each micro-detail in data could drive monumental decisions.
Join me as we unravel the intricacies of product management and the art of dashboard crafting. If data could guide a nation’s financial decisions, think about the transformative power it holds for your enterprise. Dive in, and let us explore together!
Introduction
In today’s digital landscape, the capacity to make data-driven decisions is more vital than ever. The data is out there, but how do we use it effectively? In this comprehensive guide, I will lay the foundation for understanding key areas that every Acquirer/Payment Solution Provider should focus on Merchant Retention, Onboarding, Acquisition, Engagement, Growth, and Loyalty Metrics.
The Vision
I am not just stopping at articles. I have been diligently crafting a live, fully responsive site where each of these key metrics will be dissected in the form of dashboards. These are not just static visuals; they will be fully interactive dashboards equipped with all the filtering criteria you would ever need.
Why This Guide?
The goal is simple: to create a knowledge-sharing platform that enlightens the community on how to build robust dashboards, make informed data-driven decisions, and identify trends through specific criteria. The platform is incredibly versatile, responsive, and flexible to adapt to 12-plus different technologies.
What to Expect?
Dashboard: User Interface & Requirements
I have meticulously worked to finalize the requirements for our upcoming interactive dashboards. The dashboards are not just a series of graphs and pie charts; they are carefully designed interfaces to make your data exploration intuitive and actionable. While the requirements have been locked down, the user interface, which will serve as your gateway to these actionable insights, is still in the works. Stay tuned for its release!
