Understanding Your Dashboard

Written by Jums

Overview

Your dashboard is the control center of your business on TELA. It provides a real-time summary of your sales performance, transaction activity, and inventory status, all in one place.

By reviewing your dashboard regularly, you can quickly understand how your business is performing and make informed decisions.

Key Metrics Explained

1. Total Sales

This shows the total value of all successful transactions within the selected period.

It represents the gross amount customers have paid before deductions such as refunds or discounts.

Use this metric to measure overall sales performance.

2. Total Transactions

This shows the number of completed payment transactions.

For example:

  • 50 transactions does not necessarily mean 50 products.

  • A single transaction can include multiple products.

This helps you track order volume and customer activity.

3. Net Sales

Net Sales = Total Sales βˆ’ Refunds βˆ’ Discounts

This figure reflects your actual revenue after deductions.

Net Sales gives you a clearer picture of what your business truly earned.

4. Inventory Summary

This section shows:

  • Total number of products

  • Total numbers of stock

  • Total stock value

  • Total selling price

Monitoring this section helps prevent overselling and customer dissatisfaction.

5. Recent Activity
