Dashboard Proxy for Shared Screens

Problem Context

Teams use dashboards from tools like Power BI and Stripe on shared screens, but logging in repeatedly is impractical. Some dashboards require authentication, so public links or guest views don’t work. Teams waste time rotating screens or manually managing access, which disrupts workflows and delays decisions.

Pain Points

Users struggle with no easy way to share authenticated dashboards without logging in on every machine. Public links fail due to auth restrictions, and rotating dashboards manually is time-consuming. Some tools lack built-in sharing features, forcing teams to use workarounds like screenshots or static exports, which lose real-time data value.

Impact

Wasted time adds up—teams spend hours weekly logging in/out or managing access. Delayed decisions from poor dashboard visibility cost revenue. Frustration leads to inefficient workflows, and IT teams get bogged down supporting ad-hoc solutions. Missed opportunities arise when stakeholders can’t see critical data in real time.

Urgency

This problem can’t be ignored because shared screens are mission-critical for operations, sales, and analytics teams. Without a solution, teams operate blindly, and the friction of manual workarounds slows down decision-making. The cost of downtime or poor visibility outweighs the price of a simple tool to fix it.

Target Audience

Data analysts, operations managers, and IT teams in mid-sized companies (10-500 employees) using dashboards from tools like Power BI, Stripe, Tableau, or internal analytics platforms. Startups and remote teams also face this issue when collaborating on shared screens or virtual war rooms.

Solution Approach

A browser-based proxy that authenticates once and securely shares dashboards on shared screens without requiring repeated logins. Users add their dashboards via OAuth, and the proxy handles authentication in the background. Teams can rotate dashboards automatically or manually, with real-time updates and no login prompts.

Key Features

1. Shared Screen Rotation: Schedule or manually switch between dashboards on a timer, with no interruptions.
2. Real-Time Updates: Dashboards refresh automatically, so teams always see live data.
3. Team Access Control: Invite teammates to view dashboards without sharing credentials, with role-based permissions.

User Experience

Users add their dashboards to the proxy via a simple OAuth flow. They then select which dashboards to share and set up rotation schedules. On shared screens, dashboards appear seamlessly with no login prompts. Teams can switch between dashboards automatically or on demand, all while seeing real-time data without manual updates.

Differentiation

Unlike native tools (e.g., Power BI’s ‘view as guest’), this handles *multi-tool authentication- and *shared screen rotation- in one place. No admin rights or IT support are needed—users self-install via a browser extension. It’s cheaper than hiring consultants to set up VPNs or internal proxies, and more reliable than manual workarounds like screenshots.

Scalability

Starts with 1-5 dashboards per team, then scales to unlimited as the team grows. Seat-based pricing ensures revenue grows with the user’s needs. Add-ons like SSO integration or API access for custom dashboards provide upsell opportunities.

Expected Impact

Teams save hours weekly by eliminating login friction and manual dashboard rotation. Real-time data visibility improves decision-making, and IT teams avoid supporting ad-hoc solutions. The tool pays for itself by reducing downtime and frustration, making it a no-brainer for operations and analytics teams.
