Report analytics are important because they provide the data-driven insights needed to make informed decisions, improve performance, and identify new opportunities. The current reporting in Boulevard is just raw data, that we have to export and then create their own analytic reports, which, compared to Square and other POS systems is quite out of date. At a minimum, we need the ability to compare time periods and see change and % change over time.

Here are some ways we would use analytic reports:

Improved decision-making:
Analytics transform data into actionable insights, allowing managers to make strategic and operational decisions based on facts rather than guesswork (ex: scheduling reports analytics).

Performance tracking:
They provide a clear, concise summary of key performance indicators (KPIs), enabling businesses to monitor their progress and benchmark their activities (service and retail sales reports analytics).

Increased efficiency:
By highlighting areas for improvement, report analytics help organizations optimize operations, allocate resources more effectively, and reduce wasted time (ex: utilization report analytics)

Predictive insights:
Analytics can uncover trends and patterns in historical data to forecast future outcomes, helping with more effective long-term planning and preparation (booking report analytics, cancellation report analytics)

Competitive advantage:
Analyzing performance helps you identify opportunities and adapt to market demands (booking reports).
