What sold, what is dying, and what it actually cost you.

Retail figures come out of work your team already did — the sales they rang up, the deliveries they confirmed and the counts they posted. Margin is worked from weighted landed cost rather than backwards from the retail price, so a bestseller is not quietly the thing making you least.

  • Product-level performance, best and worst side by side
  • Margin based on weighted landed cost, not retail price
  • Low stock and out-of-stock visible before it costs a sale

How it works

How the figures are produced

No export, no pivot table, no Sunday afternoon.

Step 1

Pick a range, get the answer.

Any date range you choose, sliced by service, person or product, without rebuilding a spreadsheet each time you want to look at it differently.

Step 2

Best and worst sellers, side by side.

Product-level performance makes the quietly dying line as visible as the one flying off the shelf, which is usually the more useful of the two.

Step 3

Margin based on what you paid.

Cost comes from weighted landed cost on your receipts rather than an assumed percentage, so margin survives a supplier putting their prices up.

Step 4

Low stock before it becomes a lost sale.

Out-of-stock and low-stock lines surface from live counts, so the shelf and the report are looking at the same numbers.

Feature detail

Reporting that comes from the work, not from memory.

Each of these removes one reason to rebuild the same spreadsheet every week.

Product performance

What is selling and what is quietly dying, at line level.

Low-stock & out-of-stock

Gaps surfaced from live counts rather than a weekly walk.

Cost-based margin

Margin from weighted landed cost, not backwards from retail price.

Period comparison

Put one range against another to see whether a change worked.

Retail in the main reports

Retail sits in the same reporting as services, not on a separate island.

Exports

Take the figures out when an accountant or a supplier needs them.

Common questions about retail reporting

Where do the figures come from?
From work your team already recorded — the sales they rang up, the deliveries they confirmed and the counts they posted — rather than a separate sheet somebody maintains.
How is margin calculated?
Cost comes from weighted landed cost on your receipts, so margin reflects what you actually paid rather than an assumed percentage of retail price.
Can I export it?
Yes. Figures can be exported when an accountant or a supplier needs them.
