Geckoboard is a real-time KPI dashboard platform designed for displaying live business metrics on office TV screens and shared displays — making key revenue, support, and marketing metrics visible to the entire team at a glance, without requiring anyone to log into a separate analytics tool.
Product Overview
Geckoboard's core use case is ambient data visibility: it is specifically optimised for displaying dashboards on large TV screens in offices, making it the go-to tool for sales floors, customer success teams, and marketing departments that want to create a live 'war room' view of key metrics. Where tools like Klipfolio and Databox are primarily screen-based dashboards, Geckoboard has invested heavily in making TV display setup simple — including direct integration with Chromecast and Apple TV, auto-rotating dashboards, and a clean layout optimised for viewing from a distance. Its 90+ native integrations cover the most common customer-facing metrics from Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, Google Analytics, and Stripe. Geckoboard is intentionally simple — it prioritises ease of setup and clean visual clarity over deep data modelling capabilities.
Key Features
- TV Dashboard Mode: Optimised for large screen display with Chromecast and Apple TV support — share live KPIs on office displays without technical setup.
- 90+ Native Integrations: Pre-built connections to Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, Stripe, and Google Analytics — surface key metrics without custom data pipelines.
- Auto-Rotating Dashboards: Cycle through multiple dashboards automatically on a single screen — display sales, support, and marketing metrics in rotation.
- Dashboard Sharing: Share live dashboards via URL or embed in Slack and Confluence — extend visibility beyond office screens to remote teams.
- Spreadsheet Support: Pull data from Google Sheets and Excel as a data source — include custom or calculated metrics alongside native integrations.
