Choosing the Time Range

The screen reloads automatically when you change the range.
Sales KPI Cards
Four cards at the top show the key numbers for the selected period.
Who uses this: The manager checks these every morning to know how yesterday went, and at the end of each week to spot trends.
Returns Summary Cards
Two cards below the KPI section show return activity.
A high return value relative to sales can indicate a sizing issue, a defective batch, or a style that customers are not happy with. Monitor this alongside the top items report.
Payment Mix Chart
A bar chart showing how much was collected by each payment mode.
Top Items List
A ranked list of the best-selling products in the selected period, showing units sold and total value.
Low Stock List
Items where the current stock quantity has fallen to or below the safety stock level.
- Item code and name
- Current quantity on hand
- The safety stock threshold (the reorder level)
Automatic Low Stock Notifications
In addition to the Analytics screen, the system sends an automatic alert to managers every day when items fall below safety stock. This happens through the Notification Log in the back-office. The manager does not need to check the Analytics screen to catch a low stock event - the notification comes to them. When the alert is sent: Daily, automatically, by the system scheduler. Who receives it: All users with the POS Manager or POS Admin role. What it says: A list of items and the warehouse where they are below safety stock, with current quantities and thresholds.Troubleshooting
The Analytics tab is not visible You do not have the Manager or Admin role. Ask your Admin to check your role assignment. The analytics show zero for a period where I know there were sales Check that the sales were submitted (not just draft). Also verify the selected time range covers the correct dates. The top items list is empty No sales with submitted POS Invoices were found in the selected period. If sales were made offline and have not synced yet, they will not appear until sync completes. Low stock shows items that I know are well-stocked The safety stock threshold may be set too high in the item record. Ask your Admin to review the item’s reorder level in BAS.Best Practices
- Check Analytics at the start and end of each day - it takes less than a minute and keeps you ahead of problems
- Compare the payment mix chart total to the Z-Report totals at close - any mismatch signals a problem worth investigating
- Use the top items list weekly for purchase planning - reorder fast-moving sizes before they run out on a busy weekend
- Monitor returns alongside top items - if a style has high sales AND high returns, investigate quality or sizing
- Low stock alerts are best-effort - use them as a prompt to investigate, not as the only reorder trigger
