Cross store performance metric analysis

A method, comprising:

• collecting store performance metrics from a plurality of retail locations;
• normalizing distributions of different performance metrics into normalized distributions using quantile transformation to produce normalized metrics;
• calculating a median distance value for each metric based on a corresponding distribution;
• generating a prioritized list of performance improvements based on the normalized metrics and corresponding median distance values;
• presenting the prioritized list of performance improvements through an interactive dashboard interface;
• and
• automatically refreshing the prioritized list of performance improvements that is presented based on user selections received through the interactive dashboard interface.

A system, comprising:

• data collector instructions configured to execute on a processor and collect performance indicators from retail stores;
• transformer manager instructions configured to execute on the processor and normalize distributions of the performance indicators and calculate median distance values;
• sorter instructions configured to execute on the processor and prioritize normalized performance indicators based on the median distance values;
• and
• display manager instructions configured to execute on the processor and present prioritized performance metrics through a dashboard interface.
