And if that’s too pricey, you can probably glean the approach and replicate it from from the details in this article.

The alchemy of Google Docs and Geckoboard puts real-time business intelligence and key performance dashboards into reach at affordable prices. But small businesses face challenges leveraging Google Docs and Geckoboard for two key reasons.

  1. Making essential business data available as a maintenance-free web service is not that easy.
  2. Creating and hosting Gecko-compliant XML feeds requires effort and a web services infrastructure.
