North region revenue
−12% · Certified
With three cited client emails explaining why
Leaders decide on information that is late, fragmented and only half the story.
The numbers live in databases. The reasons live in inboxes and board papers. Joining them takes days, and the answer arrives after the decision.

Inside Sightline
Five ways leaders use it every day.
Morning brief and dashboards
Two minutes, any device, everything that needs your attention.
KPI cards and a five-line morning brief: what moved, why, and what needs a decision.
- A daily executive brief
A five-line summary every morning on phone or email: what moved, the likely cause, and what needs a decision.
- KPI cards that explain themselves
Current value, change against last period and target, trend line and status colour, with “last updated” on every view.
- Ready-made executive views
Default views for the CEO, CFO and COO on first login. Each executive can pin, reorder and hide cards.
- Charts with the numbers behind them
Bar, line, pie and trend charts, each with a sortable table that exports to Excel or CSV.
- Filters that follow you
Date range, department, business unit, region and channel filters persist across pages and carry into your next question.
- Drill down to the record
From any number to its breakdown and, where permitted, to the underlying records in three clicks or fewer.
- Targets and variance
Set targets and alert thresholds for each KPI and period, or import them from a budget spreadsheet.
- Built for the phone
The morning routine works one-handed on a phone, with the headline answer always visible without scrolling.
From the morning brief to the board pack, on the same numbers.

Questions executives ask us.
Most BI assistants answer from the structured data inside that tool and depend on a well-built data model. Sightline reads across databases, spreadsheets, documents, Drive and email, joins certified numbers with cited evidence in one answer, and does not need a data warehouse first. It works alongside your BI tools; detailed report-building stays there.
