Let's Get Busy!

ID-10066257Data is critical to ensure that you know exactly what is happening with your business. To run your business effectively and efficiently you will need some type of retail reporting. This provides you with a wealth of information, such as inventory and sales.
 
Getting Your Reports
You can choose to get individual reports for a variety of things. There are different descriptive fields that will help you to narrow down exactly what you need. You can look at the order of the reports and make changes so that how you view the report is changed dramatically. For example, you can get a report for a specific department and then further narrow this down by running it by brand only. This is done by using subdivisions to group your reports.
 
How Busy are You?
You need to know what your busiest hours are so that you can staff properly. No customers like being in line for a long time because you do not have enough staff. They also want to be able to easily find an employee if they have questions about something. So, you can run a report to determine which days and hours are busiest at your business. This further helps a report that you can pull up to look at your sales for any year that you have been in business. When you get all of these together and analyze the data, you will be able to analyze trends and track your progress so that you can make the best buying decisions. You want to be sure to also look at your busiest times of the year and what items and/or services are popular during your busiest times. This will help to ensure that you do not run out so that all of your customers can get what they want when they come to your store.
 
Quick and Easy
You will be able to easily generate, view and share the reports that you generate. This is very helpful if you have managers helping you to run your store or stores. You can quickly get them the necessary information to keep your business running smoothly. You want to be able to easily circulate all important information on things like sales, inventory and busy times so that all of your employees are at the top of their game. You can circulate this type of information by generating the reports and then emailing them.
