Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a data engineer to build a BI dashboard?
Not for most small and mid-size businesses. Tools like Metabase and Looker Studio require only SQL knowledge or drag-and-drop configuration. JHD Advisor builds and connects these end-to-end.
How often should KPI dashboards refresh?
Daily refresh is sufficient for most metrics. Real-time dashboards are worth the extra infrastructure cost only for high-volume ecommerce or SaaS with many concurrent transactions.
