The verdict in three sentences
In Singapore in 2026, an SMB performance-management dashboard is budgeted between 8 000 and 35 000 SGD depending on the number of connected sources and indicator complexity. It ships in 6 to 12 weeks and lets you decide up to 30 % faster. Running your business on spreadsheets is like driving while looking in the mirror: a real-time dashboard changes everything.
How much a performance dashboard costs in Singapore
Budget depends on the sources to connect (sales, stock, cash, HR), data quality and level of interactivity. 2026 ranges.
| Item | 2026 range (SGD) | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Scoping & KPI selection | 1 200 - 3 000 | leadership workshops |
| Source connection | 2 000 - 8 000 | 2 to 6 sources |
| Data modelling | 1 500 - 7 000 | cleansing, joins |
| Dashboard design | 3 000 - 13 000 | interactivity, mobile |
| Tool licence (per user) | 0 - 30 /month | Metabase, Power BI |
| Annual maintenance | 10 % of project | KPI evolution |
The sources to connect and what they reveal
A good management dashboard cross-references several sources for a 360° view. Here are the typical sources and the decisions they inform.
| Source | Key KPIs | Decision informed |
|---|---|---|
| Sales / CRM | revenue, margin, top clients | where to focus sales effort |
| Stock / ERP | turnover, stockouts | when and what to restock |
| Cash | collections, DSO | anticipate cash pressure |
| Purchasing | lead times, supplier cost | renegotiate or switch |
| HR / production | productivity, capacity | plan hiring |
Value emerges from cross-referencing: seeing on one screen that margin is falling while stock sits idle lets you act before cash tightens.
Mini case study
Sarah, COO of a 45-employee trading SMB in Singapore. She consolidates figures manually every Monday (a full day) and discovers stockouts two weeks late. She invests 20 000 SGD in a Metabase dashboard connected to her ERP, CRM and bank, plus 12 SGD/user/month for 8 users (96 SGD/month).
Outcome: one day/week freed for her and her controller (at 45 SGD/loaded hour, 8 h x 45 x 46 weeks = 16 560 SGD/year). Above all, real-time stockout detection cuts lost sales by 15 %: on an estimated 30 000 SGD/year, that recovers 4 500 SGD. Total: ~21 000 SGD/year in gains against 21 200 SGD in year one. Paid back within year one, then strongly positive.

FAQ
How is this different from simple Excel reporting?
Excel is manual, static and error-prone. A connected dashboard updates automatically, cross-references multiple sources and is viewable on mobile in real time, speeding decisions by around 30 %.
Metabase or Power BI for an SMB?
Metabase (open source, self-hosted) minimises licence cost and keeps your data under control. Power BI fits if you already run the Microsoft ecosystem. Setup costs 6 000 to 26 000 SGD depending on sources.
How many sources can be connected?
2 to 6 for an SMB: ERP, CRM, bank/cash, e-commerce, spreadsheets. Each source adds 1 000 to 3 500 SGD depending on API availability.
Is the dashboard viewable on mobile?
Yes, and it is recommended for a leader in the field. Modern tools offer responsive views; flag this need at scoping to optimise the mobile layout.
What maintenance budget should I plan?
Around 10 % of project cost per year: adding new KPIs, adapting to source changes and fixing connectors to keep data reliable.
