Data Dashboards
Explore and Analyze Complex Data Sets At TSD, we specialize in creating interactive “sandbox” dashboards that empower users to explore and analyze complex data sets with ease. Our user-friendly designs enable stakeholders to engage with your database across various variables and dimensions, allowing them to create customized search criteria tailored to their specific needs. This innovative approach provides organizations with valuable insights, helping them make informed decisions based on large and intricate datasets.
Tailored to Your Needs
We understand that different devices serve different purposes, which is why TSD offers fully tailored dashboard designs optimized for various screen sizes, including desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. Our customization options allow clients to highlight the most pertinent information for their target audience, ensuring that the dashboard remains relevant and useful in diverse contexts, such as tradeshow displays or internal reporting.
Visualize Data
Our dashboards incorporate dynamic graphs and charts that transform raw data into compelling visual narratives. For example, we have developed data dashboards illustrating trade relationships between all 435 congressional districts in the USA and South Korea, as well as dashboards analyzing over one million data points to generate insightful graphical information. Interactive elements, such as hover effects and drill-down capabilities, enhance user engagement, while options to download custom-filtered data as PDFs or share via social media make the insights easily accessible.
Integrate Dashboards
TSD's dashboards can be seamlessly integrated into your existing website, providing users with easy access to real-time data and relevant information without disrupting their experience. This integration enhances usability and ensures that stakeholders can quickly find the insights they need, facilitating more informed decision-making and improving overall data accessibility.
Cost-Effective Solutions
We prioritize cost-effectiveness in our dashboard development, ensuring that the solutions we create are not only powerful but also affordable to host and maintain. Our dashboards can operate on free-tier hosting platforms, offering a significant advantage for organizations with limited budgets while still delivering high-quality data visualization and analysis capabilities.
Work with Your Existing Vendors
TSD is committed to collaboration and can work alongside your existing vendors to ensure that our dashboards integrate smoothly with your current data infrastructure. This partnership approach allows us to leverage your existing systems while enhancing them with our innovative dashboard solutions, ensuring that your organization can maximize the value of its data assets.
ISE (Institute for State Effectiveness)
Top Shelf Design was hired to create an interactive “sandbox” dashboard for the ISE audience to play with and create their own unique set of search criteria. This portal allows users to interact with the RST database across a number of different countries and dimensions, viewing overall end reform sequences, comparing reform pathways in different countries or crises and viewing the reform details across country priorities. The Institute for State Effectiveness is a think-tank that works with developing nations to help them strengthen their civic core. Throughout the years, they have compiled a list of reform actions of each nation they’ve worked with, along with a few notes on categorization of said efforts. They use this information internally, but had always wanted to make this info publicly accessible. TSD worked together with their team to build a tool that would allow users to explore multiple avenues of information correlations and other unknown patterns. They use this dashboard explorer on tablets at their tradeshows as a visual and interactive tool for their audience members to interact with and get a better understanding of ISE’s impact. Notable Website Features » Custom dashboard visual tool which allows users to create their own search filters and data results to allow for unique discoveries via ISE’s recorded data. » This specific site tool was also designed to be tablet-friendly since that was ISE’s chosen method of presenting this tool to their in-person prospects.
KEI
KEI purchases information on the trade between all 435 congressional districts in the USA and South Korea, organized by Goods and Service. In previous years, KEI would hire interns to manually calculate graphs and then produce PDFs of each of the 435 trade districts; which would then be linked to their website in a long series of plain text links. TSD was able to take the data as it was provided to them by the Congressional Budget Office and load it into a secure database, then build a front- end to access this data. In addition to being annually ‘updatabale’ and giving the user the ability to look further into the data, there is a huge customization factor created for the user. Notable Website Features » Ability for users to create the layout of locations and trades that are most pertinent to them and their current cause. » TSD also created the rest of the KEI website in a previous project scope. » TSD provided a designed PDF template which was used to create the downloadable one-pages that KEI employees use on a daily basis.

TAUC Labor Survey
TAUC partners with CLRC, a construction industry data processing firm, to produce an annual report on the state of the Construction Trades as a value-add for their member organizations. This data is very dense, as the information involves a national survey with hundreds of respondents, who are all providing feedback on hundreds of questions. CLRC compiles the information into a large series of trend-based information and draws inferences, and we were contracted to build the companion piece, an online dashboard that would allow users access to the raw feedback. The value here is that the survey is too wide ranging to provide individualized feedback, so this tool allows people to narrow down the responses to just display their thin slice of survey result. Notable Website Features » Sorts through over one million data points over one million data points to compile graph information. » Operates entirely on free-tier hosting. » Collaborated with client’s external data firm vendor within a tight deadline.
