Retail+ Workflows Replace weekly reporting hours with instant answers
Sales Performance & Reporting
TierLite

Replace weekly reporting hours with instant answers.

The weekly numbers your area manager and head office ask for already sit in your POS. This workflow gets them out in seconds, in plain language, instead of hours in a spreadsheet.

The problem

The hours don't change, even when the numbers do.

Most stores rebuild the same report every week. Sales by department, margin against last week, the lines that moved and the lines that did not. The numbers change; the hours spent assembling them do not.

The work usually lands on the store manager, often outside trading hours, and the output is stale the moment it is sent. When head office asks a follow-up question, the spreadsheet gets opened again.

Retail+ reads the same POS data live. The report stops being a weekly build and becomes a question you ask when you need the answer.

What to watch

The numbers this workflow keeps in front of you.

01

Sales and margin against last week, by department

The core of every weekly pack, live instead of assembled.

02

The movers

Which products stepped up or fell away this week, so the commentary writes itself from evidence.

03

The gaps

Departments or days trading below their own recent pattern, worth a line before someone asks.

How the workflow runs

From question to answer, five steps.

01 Detect

See the store's health at a glance

The Home screen shows the store's health the moment you open it: sales, margin, top products, live from the tills.

02 Analyse

Compare this week to last

In Real-time Analytics, compare this week to last by department, category or product. The drill-down replaces the spreadsheet tabs.

03 Ask

Put the follow-ups to Hank

Put the follow-up questions to Hank in plain English and the answer comes straight back, drawn from your own POS.

Ask Hank Pro

Illustrative of what you can ask once your data is connected.

  • What are my rolling total sales for this week, this month and this quarter?
  • Which departments are down on last week?
  • List the top 20 performing products last week by sales volume.
04 Act

Turn a number into a task

If the numbers show something that needs fixing, raise it as a task with an owner and a due time, straight from the view.

05 Measure

The pack that never gets rebuilt

Next week the same questions return the new answers. The pack never gets rebuilt because it never existed; the data did.

Outcomes

What this workflow produces.

The weekly numbers, on demand

In the same form every time, whenever you ask, not once a week after close.

Follow-ups answered in seconds

Rather than another spreadsheet session every time head office asks a question.

Tasks raised from the numbers

Directly from the view, with owners and completion tracking.

Hours back each week

Time returned to the floor instead of the spreadsheet.

What changes

Before and after.

Before

Hours each week assembling the pack, usually after close. Follow-up questions mean reopening the spreadsheet. Numbers are stale on arrival.

After

The numbers are live and self-serve. The weekly conversation starts from the same trusted data on both sides, and the time goes back to the floor.
