Learn about the advantages of the advanced reports page
The new advanced reports page in BLAZE will allow you to pull reports with large data sets quickly. For example, if you want to review your last year of sales history, it will be faster to pull this report in the advanced reporting section than it would be in the analytics section (which gives you real-time data).
The following reports are available:
-
Sales summary - A breakdown of your sales by gross and net sales
-
Payment types - A breakdown of the total sales completed by different payment methods
-
Reorder Report - A breakdown of recommended products to reorder based on sales trends. Simply select your sales date range (in relation to your ordering schedule) and BLAZE will calculate how many items you need to order to keep the product in stock.
-
Note: to export this report, hover over the table and click the export button in the top right corner.

What formulas are used in the reorder report?
-
Sales daily average = sold qty / # of days selected (2 decimal places)
-
Days left = Current inventory / avg daily use (whole number rounded down)
-
Recommended order qty 7, 14 or 30 days = (avg daily use x 7, 14 or 30) - current qty
FAQ
Do the advanced reports have a delay?
Yes, as these reports will typically be used to review data over large time frames, they will have up to a 1-hour delay. For real-time reports utilize the "Analytics" report page.
