RBC launches MyBusiness Dashboard - A unique tool that helps small business owners make smart decisions to manage and grow their businesses

TORONTO, Nov. 23, 2017 /CNW/ - Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) has introduced MyBusiness Dashboard, a tool that brings together key metrics from the best online software into a single view to help owners make faster and better decisions to manage and grow their businesses. This first-of-its-kind offering in the Canadian marketplace is free to any small business owner in Canada.

MyBusiness Dashboard provides business owners with a current and complete summary of their business performance at a glance ? at any time, on any device ? with no more jumping between multiple spreadsheets and apps or manually compiling and interpreting the data. By securely aggregating the right information into one easy-to-understand dashboard, it's simple for business owners to plan ahead, allocate resources and make more informed decisions that impact their bottom line.

Getting started with MyBusiness Dashboard

Getting started is easy:

3. From there, metrics will be aggregated on your personal dashboard, helping you make timely and informed business decisions.

"We're always looking for innovative ways to simplify the lives of business owners," says Jason Storsley, Vice-President, Small Business at RBC. "MyBusiness Dashboard provides business owners with a powerful view into real-time business performance to let them see more, know more and do more for their business."

In addition, MyBusiness Dashboard takes the guess work out of finding the right tools for the job by providing specialized lists of proven apps that are curated by industry, including bookkeeping, workforce management, sales tracking, website analytics and social media monitoring.

"The surplus of apps and software available to small business owners can be overwhelming, and it's difficult to know which ones will provide the most impactful information," said Storsley. "MyBusiness Dashboard cuts through the noise by suggesting the right tools and metrics that will help business owners address their biggest challenges and help them achieve their goals."
