Every goal connected to the data behind it
Goals and OKRs turns any metric you track in Databox into a target. Give each goal an owner and a deadline, connect them to company objectives, and watch progress update automatically from live data. Your AI Analyst uses those goals as context, so its answers reflect what success looks like for your business.
“Databox is a big part of our data and goal-driven approach at Referral Rock. Out of the box we’re able to get many insights from all the martech tools we are already using. The near real-time data helps us know where we are on our goals at practically any given moment instead of rushing around at the end of the month to see where we landed.”

Set a goal for any metric
Turn any metric you track into a goal, or set one manually, and let progress update itself.
Metric-based or manual goals
Set a goal on any metric you track, including custom ones you built, or enter a number manually.
Automatic progress updates
When a goal is built on a metric, Databox pulls the latest data from the source and updates progress in real time, so you always know where you stand.
Progress alerts
Get notified in email, Slack, or the mobile app when a goal is on track, at risk, or off track, early enough in the cycle to still do something about it.
OKRs
Align every team with Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)
Connect company objectives to the goals each team and person owns, so everyone sees how their work ladders up.
Objectives with sub-goals
Link sub-goals to a company objective, and the parent's progress rolls up automatically as each sub-goal moves.
Clear ownership
Assign every goal and objective to a person or team, so it's always clear who's accountable for what.
Goal timeframes
Add an end date to each objective and goal, so everyone knows exactly what to hit and by when.
Keep strategy visible at every level
Give everyone one place to see the plan, who owns what, and where things stand.
Strategy overview
Publish your mission, vision, and objectives alongside the numbers, so teams know what they're working toward and why it matters.

Frequently asked questions
What is OKR software?
OKR software helps teams set Objectives and Key Results, then tracks progress toward them automatically from live data. Databox’s Goals & OKRs connects each goal to a real metric, so progress updates itself and ladders up from individual and team goals to company-wide objectives.
What’s the difference between a goal and an OKR in Databox?
A goal is a target set on a single metric, with or without a deadline. An OKR pairs a broader objective with measurable key results, and you can link individual goals as sub-goals of an objective, so the parent’s progress rolls up automatically as each one moves.
Can I get alerted if I’m unlikely to hit a goal?
Yes. You can set two kinds of Alerts — the first notifies you if you are likely/unlikely to hit your goal after 70% of the specific time period has passed, and the second tells you whether or not you’ve hit your goal once the period has expired.
Do I need to be a Databox user to track goals?
Only Databox users can create Goals and track them on the Goals page. But Goals can be added to your dashboards using the Gauge or Progress visualization type, so anyone with access to the dashboard (including non-users) can track them.
Can agencies track goals across every client in one place?
Yes. You can use the Goals Overview to track all the goals you have set up for your clients in one place.
Can I set a goal based on a percentage increase?
At the moment, you can only set goals using specific numerical values. If you’d like goals based on percentage increase, feel free to upvote this on our roadmap.
Can I add a goal to a dashboard?
Yes! Drag and drop a visualization type that supports Goals onto your dashboard. Learn more here.
Can Databox track OKRs automatically from connected data?
Yes. Link an OKR’s key results to metrics you already track, and progress updates itself from live data instead of a manual check-in, so the objective’s overall progress rolls up automatically as each key result moves.
