The Operator's Guide to KPI Tracking

February 5, 2026 · Atlas Team

KPIs are only useful if they are tracked consistently. Most teams set targets at the start of the quarter and forget about them until review time. Atlas changes that.

Why KPIs fail

The number one reason KPI systems fail is friction. If tracking a metric requires manual data entry, spreadsheet updates, or manager follow-ups, it simply will not happen consistently.

What good KPI tracking looks like

Effective KPI tracking has three properties:

  1. Automatic collection — data flows in without manual effort
  2. Real-time visibility — managers see status without asking
  3. Accountability loops — gaps are flagged immediately, not at quarter-end

How Atlas handles KPIs

Define templates once

Create KPI templates with target values, frequency (daily, weekly, monthly), and assigned roles. Atlas takes it from there.

Automatic task creation

Atlas creates KPI submission tasks on schedule. Your team sees them in their task list alongside regular work — no separate system to check.

Submission and approval

Team members submit their KPI data directly in Atlas. Managers review and approve submissions with one click.

Gap detection

If a submission is missed or falls below target, Atlas flags it immediately. No more discovering problems weeks later.

Example KPIs by industry

Auto shops: Jobs completed per tech per day, average repair time, customer satisfaction score

HVAC teams: Service calls completed, first-time fix rate, response time

Agencies: Client meetings held, proposals sent, conversion rate

Field ops: Jobs dispatched, on-time completion rate, safety incidents

Start tracking in 5 minutes

  1. Go to KPI Templates in Atlas
  2. Create your first template (e.g., “Daily Jobs Completed”)
  3. Set the target, frequency, and assignees
  4. Atlas handles the rest
