The Sales dashboard gives a quick, graphical overview of sales performance. From this dashboard, you can compare sales performance between different time periods and easily access additional reports if particular numbers require more information. 

Customize the dashboard according to your business needs to have essential reporting data readily available at a glance. This report includes data on total revenue, bestsellers, top-selling employees, cash reports, best customers, popular payment methods, and shift performance.
