Dashboard Features

The PixelTech admin dashboard provides real-time operational insights and centralized management of your e-commerce business. Built on Firebase with real-time listeners, the dashboard automatically updates as orders, payments, and inventory changes occur.

​
Key Metrics

The dashboard displays five critical KPIs that update in real-time:

Total Sales

Aggregated revenue from paid, shipped, and delivered orders

Treasury Balance

Combined balance across all bank accounts and cash registers

Pending Orders

Priority count of orders awaiting fulfillment

Accounts Receivable

Outstanding customer payments and partial balances

​
Real-Time Order Management

Orders are automatically categorized by urgency based on a configurable cutoff time (default: 2:30 PM): 
const cutoffTimeStr = configSnap.data().cutoffTime || "14:00";
const now = new Date();
const [hours, minutes] = cutoffTimeStr.split(':').map(Number);
const cutoffDateToday = new Date(now);
cutoffDateToday.setHours(hours, minutes, 0, 0);
Priority Logic:
  • Orders placed before cutoff → Ship today
  • Orders placed after cutoff → Ship next business day

​
Smart Real-Time Cache

The dashboard implements an intelligent caching system that minimizes Firebase reads: 
function initRealtimeDashboard() {
    const ordersRef = collection(db, "orders");
    const qRecentOrders = query(ordersRef, orderBy("createdAt", "desc"), limit(100));
    
    unsubscribeOrders = onSnapshot(qRecentOrders, (snap) => {
        snap.docChanges().forEach(change => {
            if (['added', 'modified', 'removed'].includes(change.type)) {
                fetchDashboardData();
            }
        });
    });
}
Performance Optimization: Only changed documents trigger updates, reducing unnecessary reads by up to 90%.

​
User Roles and Permissions

Firestore security rules enforce role-based access control:

​
Admin Role

function isAdmin() {
  return request.auth != null && 
    exists(/databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)) &&
    get(/databases/$(database)/documents/users/$(request.auth.uid)).data.role == 'admin';
}
