Get better overview of your sales data
Every time you sell your products or services in stores or online, data is generated about each sale, order etc. And now you have tons of valuable data but accessing and manipulating that data to extract useful information is complex and time consuming.
52RETAIL collects and stores all your sales data across all sales channels and now with the new release, it'll be easier to pull data into structured dashboards and reports for further analysis.
Using different tools, like for example Microsoft Power BI, you can extract data in real time and get overview of your sales data. This overview will help you gain relevant real time insights into sales both in the store and online to be able to make informed decisions about your retail business.
With all this data now stored in an SQL database, you’ll need backup to not lose your valuable data when the chips are down. 52RETAIL allows you to choose your favorite backup strategy to ensure reliable operations of your business-critical environment at all time. The database supports file-based backup, Point-in-Time backup and hot backup.
