Show me the Scorecard! Manthan’s product idea was to empower the executive management teams in any retail corporate to get a dashboard view of their performance over time. This was done through a standard analytics method called ‘balanced scorecard’. Apparatus was involved in collaborating with the business and the tech team in creating the initial use cases.

Apparatus’ approach was to initially create modular partial prototypes across the features and functionality. Further integrate with dashboards that present critical information proactively. During the project, team Apparatus created innovative devices to indicate progressive trends, future projections, critical alerts, dashboard to drill down user task flows and a causality analysis fishbone map.

Manthan named this product Astra. Astra is used by key retail companies in Europe and is being introduced in the United States mid 2006. We are still engaged with Manthan in enhancing the user experience over versions of this product.
