The Challenge

The business owner needed key metrics in one place. Sales performance, labor costs, and operational data were scattered across POS systems, inventory tools, and spreadsheets. Decision-making was reactive rather than data-driven.

What I Built

A two-phase reporting system: first, custom retail scorecards for each location tracking sales targets, labor costs, and operational performance; second, a company-wide strategic dashboard monitoring cross-functional business initiatives. Consolidated data from POS systems, inventory management, and goal trackers into a unified repository. Established regular analysis routines to transform raw data into actionable recommendations.

How It Works

POS and operational data feeds into a unified data layer. Role-specific dashboards surface relevant KPIs. Weekly analysis routines translate data into recommendations. Investor-ready financial reports generate from the same data source.

Results
