Running a business is not just about selling. There is a lot that must be done if you want your business to grow, including monitoring reports. Why is this important?
One of them is to be top of mind in the consumer competition arena. For this reason, it is important to always monitor information and data about your business. Not only that, you also need reports to get useful input about business performance. Only in this way can you find out what strategies work and what don't. You also know what you need to change to grow and develop.

You can get all this information if you have detailed and neatly arranged reports on a regular basis. However, it's not enough just to have it, you also have to monitor the report continuously, whether daily, weekly, monthly and annually. That's why every business owner or decision maker (manager or supervisor) must be able to read and analyze what is written in the report.
This is where the problem lies. In the early days of building a business, the activity of checking reports may still be fun for you, because at that time the components being checked were still simple and not yet complex. Once your business has been running for a long time, the number and variety of products increases, the number of buyers also increases, even when your outlet increases, the enthusiasm for monitoring reports often decreases. This routine becomes boring. Not to mention, other activities are an excuse for you not being able to monitor reports frequently.
Yes, complex reports inevitably make you dizzy and stressed. However, this actually doesn't need to happen if the report is presented in graphic form that is easy to read and understand. But you can only get this if you use a qualitypoint of sale (POS). A quality POS is able to present report data in a way that makes it easy and enjoyable for its users. Like the report you can get from Qasir Dashboard.
What can be done with reports in the Dashboard?
If you pay attention, reports are not just about how much your sales are, how much profit, how many products are out of stock. But there is something else you can take from there, namely data. Data can show a variety of information, for example what types of orders are most in demand at your store, or what age customers shop at your outlet the most, what menus are best-selling on weekends, what types of promotions are most effective, and things like that. Data like this is very valuable if you want to determine a business strategy.
There are several things you can do with monitored reports:
1. Find the source of the problem. When you feel that something is wrong with the sales of a product this month, you can prove it through reports.
2. Make recommendationsOnce identified, the problem needs to be resolved. With data, you can make recommendations that are more targeted than if you just used your intuition or guesswork.
3. Testing strategies. The new report can tell us whether the strategy we are implementing is successful or not.
Then what reports should you have?
There are at least 3 categories of business reports that must be included in every business report:
1. Sales Report. This is the lifeblood of your business. Sales reports are everything related to income. Be it the amount, the increase, or the source. Sales reports can help you analyze sales volume trends over time to ensure your business is healthy.
2. Product Report. This is useful for understanding restocking needs and determining future inventory needs. The best-selling product ranking report also really helps you maximize your sales.
3. Employee Reports. As a business owner, your most valuable resource is your team. Employee reports help you assess employee performance and become the basis if you want to give them a salary increase or bonus for their performance.
