Once completed a task will be signed off as completed and will become a frozen wrap. Hundreds of wrap will be live to monitor all the activities in the company. It is very easy for wraps to count up the number of wraps in progress and the total time or costs associated with all activities. These values are Key performance indicators (KPIs) and will be used to gauge a company’s current performance. Taking a snap shot of kpi's every night shows how they change with time and reveal overall long-term trends. KPIs specifically help determine a company's strategic, financial, and operational achievements and using wraps its all part of the solution. Here are a couple of sample applications:
