How can daily reports help your business?Day to day comparison
Daily sales report gives direct daily comparison.
Did you do better on Saturday than on Sunday?
Why was Saturday better?
Is there something we did on Saturday that caused the increased sale some can repeat it on Monday and Tuesday?
Your daily sales report would help you to answer such questions and help you to make more sales every day. The goal in business is ultimately to make sure that today is always better than yesterday.
Maintenance
Codes develop bugs over time, and traffic could exceed bandwidth, just like a conventional store, maintenance is a must.
Maintaining a store that is supposed to be up and running 24 hours a day might seem confusing. A comedian once asked why stores that are open 24/7 and 365 days a year have locks (I think I only saw them use those doors in a zombie apocalypse movie).
Maintaining an online store can be easy though when you know exactly when you can run a maintenance check without losing customers.
With your daily report, you get to know at what day during the week you have the least customers and with that information you can schedule maintenance around that time minimizing profit loss.
You wouldn’t want to bring down your site for maintenance on black Friday now would ya?
