Introduction
For most teams, the campaign performance report happens after the fact. Metrics get pulled. Slides get built. A recap gets emailed.
But for brands running campaigns across dozens (or hundreds) of stores, dealers, vendors or regions—that’s too late.
If you don’t know what’s happening while it’s happening, you’re not managing performance—you’re just reporting on what went wrong.
This blog breaks down how GearBox® by IRIS helps brands move from lagging reports to real-time campaign visibility that actually improves execution.
What Most Campaign Reports Miss

They Only Capture Marketing Metrics
Open rates, impressions and conversions matter—but they don’t show who launched what, when or how.
They Ignore Field Execution
Was signage installed? Did the vendor print on time? Did regional teams customize or use the right templates? Most reports skip over the physical steps.
They’re Retrospective, Not Actionable
By the time the report gets built, the opportunity to fix anything has passed. There's no operational insight—just historical data.
What Brands Actually Need to Measure
Execution Visibility
Who accessed the kits? What assets were downloaded? Which versions went live in which markets?
Participation Tracking
Which franchisees launched the promo? Which stores skipped it? Which vendors delayed fulfillment?
Customization Monitoring
How were templates edited? Did any teams go off brand? Which regions adjusted creative within the guardrails?

Real-World Example: Steelcase Gains Visibility with IRIS

- Tracked which partners downloaded and used assets
- Segmented reporting by region and partner tier
- Reduced manual follow-up by automating rollout reports
- Improved alignment between corporate teams and channel partners

Conclusion: Reporting Should Improve Execution, Not Just Document It
If your campaign performance report only shows what happened after the fact, you're missing the chance to fix it while it counts.
