What Is KPI Scorecard Software?

KPI scorecard software helps businesses track key performance indicators against goals, benchmarks, and targets. It shows whether each metric is on track, near goal, or behind goal, so leaders can quickly understand what needs attention.

For franchisors and multi-location businesses, KPI scorecard software helps compare locations, monitor financial performance, identify profit leaks, and create accountability across teams.

Autymate’s KPI scorecard software is built for franchise and multi-location performance management. It connects data from QuickBooks and other business systems, scores every location against goals, highlights red metrics, and helps teams assign actions to improve results.

Everything in One View

Everything Your KPI Scorecard Does

Autymate brings KPI tracking, franchise reporting, financial performance, benchmarking, and AI-powered action planning into one scorecard. Instead of switching between spreadsheets, dashboards, accounting reports, and disconnected systems, your team can see what is happening, why it matters, and what needs to happen next.

See Your Entire Franchise Network at a Glance

Autymate gives franchisors and multi-location operators a clear view of performance across the full network. Every location is scored against its goals and benchmarked against the network, so you can instantly see which locations are behind goal, near goal, or on track.

Instead of reviewing one spreadsheet at a time, leadership can see total profit leakage, performance distribution, and the locations that need attention in one view.

Behind Goal
Locations below the required threshold and needing immediate action.
Near Goal
Locations close to target but still worth monitoring.
On Track
Locations meeting or beating the defined KPI goal.

Filter to the Locations That Matter

Seeing the whole network is useful. Filtering it is how teams take action. Autymate lets you narrow your KPI scorecard by hierarchy, region, brand, location, score, date range, team, data quality, or custom attributes, so the right issues surface quickly.

Use filters to find underperforming locations, compare similar stores, review regional trends, and prioritize the actions most likely to improve performance.

Top performers become your playbook. Bottom performers become your priority list.

Autymate's location filter panel: filter the network by score, data quality, region, team, group, square footage, and headcount, with a one-click reset to default.
  • Filtering franchise locations by hierarchy in a searchable parent-and-child tree, from Nashville down through Boulder, Indianapolis, Denver, and Orlando.

    Roll Up by Hierarchy

    Group locations by region, brand, district, or ownership structure so franchisors can review performance at the right level.

  • Defining up to five custom location attributes such as Square Footage with dropdown value ranges, to slice and benchmark the network by custom dimensions.

    Define Your Own Attributes

    Create attributes such as square footage, headcount, ownership group, location type, or market so benchmarking becomes more accurate.

From a Red KPI to the Transaction Behind It

A red KPI should not leave your team guessing. In Autymate, you can click an underperforming metric and move from the network view to the location, from the location to the metric, and from the metric to the transaction-level detail behind the number.

This gives finance, operations, and franchise teams a clear path from problem to root cause. You can see whether the issue is tied to revenue, food cost, labor, expenses, bookkeeping gaps, or a specific invoice or journal line. No exports. No manual report pulling.

Every Financial KPI, Scored Against Goal

Autymate helps franchise and multi-location teams track the financial KPIs that matter most. Revenue, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, four-wall profitability, AR aging, and cash-related metrics can all be scored against defined goals for each location.

Each KPI uses simple red, yellow, and green status indicators, so teams can see which numbers are healthy, which are close to target, and which need immediate action.

Revenue
Track sales performance and compare actual revenue against target.
Cost of Goods Sold
Monitor COGS percentage and identify where product costs are affecting margins.
Operating Expenses
Review expense performance across locations and spot spending issues.
Four-Wall Profitability
Understand whether each location is profitable before corporate overhead and royalties.
AR Aging
Track overdue balances and monitor collection risk.
Each scored:On TrackNear GoalBehind Goal

Four-wall profitability is what a single location earns after the costs it controls, before corporate overhead and royalties. It’s the truest read on whether a unit is profitable on its own four walls.

Build Any KPI Metric, Five Ways

Each metric carries its own goal, owner, and a choice of six visualizations (number, gauge, line, area, pie, progress bar).

  • Library

    Use pre-built metrics from connected apps, including QuickBooks and financial reporting metrics.

  • Standardized Chart of Accounts

    Keep revenue, expenses, net income, and other financial categories consistent across locations.

  • Custom

    Build a KPI from connected data using your own aggregation and dimension.

  • Calculated

    Combine multiple metrics to create ratios, margins, percentages, or custom scores.

  • Manual

    Enter values by hand for business KPIs that do not come from a connected system.

Five Ways to View the Same KPI Scorecard

Different teams need different views of the same performance data. Autymate lets you view the same KPI scorecard by unit, dashboard, team, period, or map, so each leader can answer the right question without rebuilding reports.

Switch between goal vs. actual performance, location rankings, budget comparisons, previous-period trends, and geographic views in a few clicks.

Built for Franchisors and Franchisees

Autymate gives franchisors and franchisees the right level of visibility. Franchisors can review the full network, compare franchisee performance, track profit leakage, and benchmark every location. Franchisees can focus on their own location, see how they are performing against goals, and understand which KPIs need attention.

This role-based scorecard structure keeps data useful, secure, and focused for every user.

Trust the Numbers Before You Act on Them

A KPI scorecard is only useful when the data behind it is reliable. Autymate includes data health checks that help teams understand whether QuickBooks and financial data have been reconciled for the reporting period.

Before acting on a red metric, your team can confirm whether the issue is a real performance problem or unfinished bookkeeping. Standardized accounts and connected data help keep every location’s numbers comparable, consistent, and ready for decisions.

Make Accountability a Weekly Habit

Autymate helps teams turn KPI reviews into a consistent operating rhythm. Every metric can have an owner, every red metric can become an assigned action, and every action can be tracked against progress.

Weekly streaks, achievements, and team leaderboards make accountability visible across the business. Instead of discussing the same performance problems every week, teams can see who owns the next step, what changed, and which KPIs are moving closer to goal.

  • Achievements

    Recognize teams and locations as goals are met and performance improves.

  • Weekly Streaks

    Keep review habits visible and encourage teams to stay consistent with scorecard check-ins.

  • Team Leaderboards

    Show which teams, locations, or owners are moving the numbers in the right direction.
