RepairMonitor dashboard provides insight into repair data

Do you want to know which products the Repair Cafes in your community or country repair most often? And how often they succeed? You can find this and other data via the RepairMonitor dashboard we developed over the summer. This dashboard provides insight into current repair data from Repair Cafes around the world.

The RepairMonitor is the online tool that Repair Cafes use to collect data about the repairs they carry out: products, brands, common problems, successful solutions… in the RepairMonitor, volunteers keep track of it all. In the system they also can, for example, give an approximate estimate of how old an item was, why the repair failed, and whether repair information was available to them.

Up-to-date results now always available

All this information is now open to the public via the RepairMonitor dashboard. There, eight visuals always provide up-to-date insight of the:

• number of registered repairs
• participating Repair Cafes
• most presented products (general and per product category)
• success rate
• most presented brands
• most active Repair Cafes
• reasons why repairs fail

The visuals can be downloaded in a pdf. In addition, everyone can download the current dataset at any time to also draw their own conclusions.

Dashboard is also accessible to policymakers, journalists and other interested parties

The RepairMonitor dashboard is open to the public. This means that policymakers, journalists, and other interested parties can also view the information and filter it as they please. Until now, they had to rely on the annual data analysis by Repair Café International. So, through the dashboard, the RepairMonitor’s unique dataset is much better unlocked!
