A reporting rhythm that fits shop life
Daily (60 seconds): recorded sales vs cash counted; udhaar added today; anything unusual flagged before memory fades (closing routine).
Weekly (5 minutes): top movers vs sleepers, expense creep, dues aging (stock check pairs here).
Monthly (one chai): profit trend, category mix, receivables total — the honest board-meeting-with-yourself from the monthly review guide.
What each view is secretly for
- Sales totals: spot staff-less leakage and weather/festival patterns.
- Item performance: shelf space and reorder money flow toward proven winners.
- Dues summary: credit exposure as a number, not a nightmare (dues review).
- Expense totals: the cost side finally gets a voice (expense tracker).
- Stock alerts: tomorrow's "khatam ho gaya" prevented today.
Why automatic beats "I'll note it down"
Manual reporting dies within two weeks everywhere on earth. Automatic reporting survives because it demands nothing: bills entered at the counter (billing module) become data; data becomes views. The branded tour of visuals lives at StoreSaathi Reports; margin-specific reading at using sales reports and profit tracking.
