Analyzing Your Business Performance
Monthly Review Process
Compare KPIs to Previous Month
Create a simple tracking sheet:
Identify:
| Metric | This Month | Last Month | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | €15,200 | €14,100 | +7.8% |
| Tickets | 203 | 188 | +8.0% |
| Clients | 347 | 332 | +4.5% |
| Products | 125 | 120 | +4.2% |
- Growth areas (celebrate these!)
- Declining metrics (investigate why)
- Unusual changes (one-time events?)
Review Revenue Trend
Look at the trend chart:
- Is this month in line with the pattern?
- Any unexpected spikes or drops?
- Are you meeting projections?
Analyze Payment Methods
Check if the distribution changed:
- More debt? Tighten credit policies
- More cash? Investigate why (system issues? client preference shift?)
- Consider running card-payment promotions if needed
Study Top Items
Review bestsellers:
- Same items as last month? (Stable preferences)
- New items appearing? (Successful launches)
- Missing items? (Investigate decline)
Quarterly Analysis
Every 3 months, do a deeper dive:Compare All Three Months
Look for:
- Consistent trends across the quarter
- Month-to-month volatility
- Seasonal patterns
Identify Quarterly Winners
Which items were consistently top sellers all three months?These are your core offerings - protect and promote them.
Review Strategic Goals
Did you meet quarterly targets?
- Revenue goals
- Client growth goals
- New service adoption
Advanced Analytics Techniques
Calculating Key Metrics
Average Transaction Value
- Low average: Focus on upselling, bundles
- High average: Premium positioning is working
- Decreasing over time: Price sensitivity increasing
- Increasing over time: Successful premium strategy
Revenue Per Client
- Low: Need more repeat visits or higher-value services
- High: Strong client retention and loyalty
Top Item Concentration
- High concentration (greater than 40%): Dependent on few items (risky)
- Balanced (20-30%): Healthy diverse demand
- Low concentration (less than 20%): Very diverse, harder to predict
Comparing Time Periods
Report Limitations and Considerations
What’s NOT in the Report

- Staff performance metrics (view in staff management)
- Inventory levels (view in Productos module)
- Outstanding debts (view in Finanzas > Deudas)

Data Accuracy
Troubleshooting
Dashboard Not Loading
- Wait 10-15 seconds - data aggregation takes time
- Refresh the page
- Check internet connection
- Clear browser cache
- Try a different browser
Charts Show “No Data”
If charts are empty:- Ensure you have completed transactions in the system
- Check date range (if filtering is available)
- Verify sales are marked as “completed” not “pending”
- Check if data exists in other modules (TPV, Ventas)
PDF Export Not Working
- Allow pop-ups in browser settings
- Try a different browser (Chrome recommended)
- Disable browser extensions temporarily
- Check if print dialog is hidden behind other windows
Numbers Don’t Match Expectations
Verify:- All sales were recorded in TPV
- No duplicate entries
- Correct date range
- Status filters (completed vs. pending)
- Refunds were properly processed
- Bank deposits (for card payments)
- Cash register counts (for cash payments)
- Accounting software
Best Practices
Regular Monitoring
Data-Driven Decision Making
Question
Ask why the data looks this way:
- Why is this item selling so well?
- Why did revenue drop this month?
- Why are clients preferring this payment method?
Hypothesize
Form theories:
- “Revenue dropped because we raised prices”
- “This service is popular because of Instagram posts”
- “Cash increased because card terminal was broken”
Test
Make changes and measure results:
- Lower prices and watch next month
- Post more about other services
- Fix the terminal and monitor payment mix
