Retail Intelligence at Your Fingertips: Exploring the XtraPOS Cloud Dashboards

With data and timing being crucial aspects in the world of retail, it is important to understand exactly how your store is performing. This is where XtraPOS Cloud’s set of dashboards come in – a variety of widgets providing crucial insights into various aspects of your business.

It is also worth noting that whilst all widgets are available to XtraPOS Cloud users, they can be shown/hidden according to user preference, therefore ensuring only the insights which are useful to your business are visible and unnecessary clutter is avoided.

In this blog, a few of the dashboards will be explored and explained.

Sales Overview by Outlet

This widget shows the performance of each store location ensuring you know where each location stands at a glance and how to improve low-performing stores.

Sales by Channel

Via this widget, shop owners are able to identify which payment methods are most used by clients, allowing them to better understand their customer base and improve their cash flow forecasting.

Sales Period Comparison

Understanding past sales performance and comparing it to the present helps in identifying progress and areas of improvement. The sales period comparison widget allows you to compare past and present sales, thereby allowing you to identify seasonal spikes or dips and thereby allocating resources accordingly.

Top Departments by Sales

By viewing the revenue generated by individual departments, business owners can invest more resources and marketing efforts into top departments, and decide if struggling departments are worth improving or are better off discontinued.

Top-Selling Products

Being able to view best-selling products over a selected time period not only allows you to know what customers like and what they don’t, but also to ensure popular products remain in stock and plan ahead for special offers and promotions.

Dashboards not only act as reporting tools, but as resources to make data-driven decisions, operate efficiently and better understand their customers. All these aspects allow retailers to no longer rely on guess work or follow a generic business plan, but enables them to work according to their needs and succeed.
