Highlights to note as you use our dashboards:

As a Grocery Store Owner our Nexus data analytics dashboard, for example, will allow you to review the following key metrics on a daily or weekly basis to improve your store performance:

Weekly:

1. Review Store KPI Dashboard for comprehensive overview of all previous week’s KPI’s.

2. Review Weekly Product Performance Dashboard for an indication of how sales compare to same week last year.

3. Review Weekly Financial Performance dashboard to monitor your actual cash earnings each week (with comparatives to prior year) to enable you to take actions quickly to reduce overheads if needs be.

4. Review Various Exception Reports to identify anomalies and to review these with the key charge-hands/store manager. The aim here is to remove non-selling or low selling items, and boost margin by selling higher margin products or addressing low margins / excessive waste on others.

Daily:

1. Review the Waste Analysis on Store KPI Dashboard, and on specifically designed fresh department dashboards, to identify products where waste is similar to the margin. The aim is to address issues identified with excessive waste.

2. Review Sub Dept Dashboard to see how sales by sub dept and margin are tracking for the week.

Review Deli and other fresh sub-dept dashboards to identify anomalies in terms of sales which might lead to changes in ordering/production/range.

Nexus can be tailored to other specific sector/industries as required.
