Webcockpit Real-Time Dashboard

Data Solution for the International Quick-Service Restaurant Industry
A leading global quick-service restaurant chain relies on SOTEC's Webcockpit Live Reporting. The cross-platform dashboard provides operational metrics such as service times, guest volumes, and revenue in real time.

The Challenge

In fast-paced industries like Quick-Service Restaurant industry (QSR) live monitoring is indispensable. It provides the necessary data for operational decisions and ensures immediate actionability. Data must be accessible centrally and remain up-to-date so that it can serve both long-term planning and ad-hoc decision-making.

The highly decentralized structure, with thousands of branches worldwide, presents a major technological challenge. In addition, a wide variety of often isolated systems are used across individual stores. These include ERP and Point of Sale (POS) systems, as well as workforce management solutions. To provide genuine added value, these systems must be seamlessly linked and synchronized.

The Solution

To break down these data silos, SOTEC relies on a modern, cloud-native architecture operated entirely in the Google Cloud. The primary systems of the branches transmit their data directly to the cloud. There, the data is immediately enriched with valuable information from third-party systems. Processing and storage take place in a high-performance real-time database—the technical foundation of Webcockpit.

This makes it possible to provide newly captured information without any noticeable delay. These reports are simultaneously available across all user devices. Updates regarding revenue, service times, and productivity metrics are immediately visible.

The Result

The result is a globally scalable solution that stands out for its maximum reliability. Depending on the local setup and individual settings, live data updates at high frequency. From intervals of just a few seconds up to one minute—Webcockpit makes it possible. Most users opt for a standard interval of 3 to 15 minutes. A key advantage of the solution is its cross-platform visualization: users can view live data from anywhere at any time.

  • Web App: Comprehensive real-time dashboards directly in the browser.
  • Mobile App (iOS & Android): Features a dedicated “Live Data” module for a quick overview on the go.
  • Tablet App: Specially optimized dashboard display for iPads and Android tablets.
  • Apple Watch App: Convenient delivery of key parameters (revenue, guests, service times) straight to your wrist.
  • Player App: For direct visualization of metrics on permanently installed screens in the branches.

The Webcockpit Live Dashboard has already proven itself in practice: currently, more than 2,000 branches are connected. The system provides management and store operators with immediate insights, enabling them to make data-driven, optimizing decisions throughout the ongoing business day.
