He needed a mobile-first solution to access the statistics and evidence he needs to substantiate his call for change.

Solution	Mark turned to Domo, a mobile-first solution that allowed him to easily connect and transform data from anywhere. Domo pulled homelessness data into dashboards for Mark to see and interact with it in ways he’d never been able to before. Because Domo is real-time and mobile-first, Mark can see everything happening in his business, right now, from anywhere. Alongside live business insights, Mark has access to information from dozens of sources that Domo has visualized in a way that he can put in front of others to drive more impactful change. Domo worked directly with the vendor for Save On Meat’s core operational software, Profitek, to create a direct connection between their data and Domo. Domo then built a financial dashboard for the Save On Meats restaurant that updates all their point of sale information alongside inventory, revenue, and cost of labor data.
