        abstract = {This paper presents a review of Key Performance Indicator (KPI) dashboard integrations with SAP systems as strategic enablers of real-time operational decision-making in modern businesses. The review explores how visual analytics systems, that are integrated with SAP modules, can improve an organisation’s responsiveness, transparency and performance alignment by examining structured frameworks, data flow architectures and decision intelligence frameworks. The review highlights the structural foundations of such integrations including data pipelines in real-time, connectivity through APIs, and digital twins. The review explores sector-specific uses, strategic advantages like cross-functional collaboration and risk management, and challenges associated with embracing KPI dashboards in SAP systems like data standardisation, system complexity, and user buy-in. The review proposes phased implementation, stakeholder engagement, and iterative development of dashboards. The review draws on authoritative sources to create a holistic operational framework for businesses interested in sharing their real-time dashboards as strategic controls and operational agility.},
