Reports
BridalOp ships a Sales Dashboard landing page plus 19 built-in reports across five categories, and an AI assistant called Bri that can answer questions about your business data in plain English.
Sales Dashboard
The Sales Dashboard at /reports/sales-dashboard is the executive landing page — every number that matters in one screen. A featured card pinned to the top of /reports and a quick-link card on the home Dashboard both link straight to it.
The dashboard renders seven KPI tiles. Every tile is clickable and drills into the underlying report pre-filtered to the same period:
| Tile | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Revenue This Month | Month-to-date revenue with a delta vs the prior month |
| Revenue This Quarter | Quarter-to-date revenue with a delta vs the prior quarter |
| Revenue Year-to-Date | YTD revenue with a delta vs the prior year |
| Appointments Booked | Appointment count this month |
| Close Ratio (Bridal Gowns) | Bridal gown close ratio with a weekly sparkline trend |
| Gross Margin by Department | Bar chart of revenue + gross margin across product types |
| Highest Margin Categories | Top 5 categories ranked by margin |
Use the dashboard as your morning check-in: glance at the row of KPIs, click whichever number deserves a deeper look.
Sales
| Report | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Sales Summary | Total revenue, order count, average order value, tax collected, and discounts given. Includes a revenue trend chart and breakdown by order type. |
| Item Sales | Every product sold in the period with quantity, revenue, average price, cost, and profit margin. Sortable by any column. |
| Category Sales | Sales aggregated by product category — items sold, revenue, average price, percentage of total revenue, COGS, Gross Margin, and Margin %. |
| Department Margin | Gross margin grouped by product type (Gowns / Bridesmaid / Accessories / Veils / Shoes / Alterations / Other) — KPI tiles, bar chart, and table. |
| Close Ratio | Bridal-appointment-to-gown-sale conversion ratio over a configurable window, broken out by store and per-consultant. |
| Team Sales | Staff performance — orders closed, items sold, revenue, and average order value per team member. |
| Payment Methods | Transaction count and total amount per payment method (cash, card, gift card, etc.) with percentage breakdown. |
| Discounts | Every discount used in the period — name, code, type (percent/fixed), usage count, and total amount given. |
| Commissions | Commission earned per staff member based on their commission rate and total sales closed. |
Department Margin
The Department Margin report at /reports/department-margin answers a single question: which product types are actually making you money?
Two KPI tiles up top — Revenue and Gross Margin for the period — sit above a Revenue vs. Gross Margin by Department bar chart and a per-department table.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Department | Product type (Gowns, Bridesmaid, Accessories, Veils, Shoes, Alterations, Other) |
| Units Sold | Quantity sold across all line items in the department |
| Revenue | Net revenue (after discounts) |
| COGS | Cost of goods sold — sum of unit_cost × quantity |
| Gross Margin | Revenue minus COGS |
| Margin % | Gross margin as a percentage of revenue |
Margin numbers don't drift
Each line's unit_cost is snapshotted at sale time, so historical margin won't shift later when you update a product's cost. Existing orders use a backfill from the inventory item's purchase price (or, falling back, the product's cost plus any per-variant additional cost) so day-one numbers are solid too.
Close Ratio
The Close Ratio report at /reports/close-ratio measures how often a bridal appointment turns into a gown sale within a configurable window after the appointment.
| Filter | Options |
|---|---|
| Conversion Window | 14 days, 30 days (default), 60 days, or 90 days after the appointment |
| Group By | Week or Month (store rollup view only) |
There are two views:
- Store rollup — period-over-period close ratio for the whole boutique. Columns: Period, Appointments, Closes, Close Ratio, Gown Revenue.
- Per-consultant — same metrics, but per consultant. Columns: Consultant, Appointments, Closes, Close Ratio, Gown Revenue.
Dedup rule: each gown sale credits at most one appointment — the earliest qualifying one. So when a bride comes in for two consultations before buying, the close ratio doesn't get inflated by the repeat visit. The number stays honest.
Financial
| Report | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Sales Tax | Taxable sales, tax collected, and tax rate — broken down by location and by month. |
| Layaway Overview | Active, completed, and overdue layaway plans with outstanding balances and next payment due dates. |
| Inbound Expenses | Vendor purchase order expenses with outstanding balances. Shows what you owe vendors, when payment is due, and total balance due grouped by month. Includes vendor, PO number, product, customer, estimated arrival, payment terms, paid amount, balance due, and due date. Exportable as CSV or PDF. Supports threshold alerts (see below). |
Inbound Expenses — Threshold Alerts
The Inbound Expenses report includes a Threshold Alerts setting that notifies you when your projected monthly expenses get too high.
Click Alert Settings in the top-right corner of the Inbound Expenses report to configure:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable threshold alerts | Toggle alerts on or off |
| Threshold amount ($) | You'll be notified when any month's projected expenses reach or exceed this amount |
| Also notify managers | Send the alert email to all active managers in addition to the store owner |
Alerts are checked daily at 7:00 AM ET. When your projected inbound expenses for the current month hit or exceed your threshold, BridalOp sends an email notification to the store owner (and optionally all managers).
Inventory
| Report | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Inventory Summary | Total items, inventory value at cost, and counts by status (available, reserved, sold, on-order, damaged). Broken down by product with ownership type (store-owned vs. consignment). |
| Consignment | Items sold per consignment vendor, total sales, vendor payout, and your store's revenue share. |
Operations
| Report | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Appointments | Total appointments, no-show count and rate, cancellations, completions, and average party size. Includes trend chart, breakdown by type and source, and per-consultant stats. |
| Staff Hours | Shifts worked, days worked, total hours, break time, and average hours per day — per staff member. |
| SMS Usage | Total messages sent, credits used, delivery rate, and failed count. Broken down by context (automated vs. bulk) with a daily trend chart. |
Customers
| Report | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Customer Insights | Total and new customers, repeat customers (2+ orders), upcoming weddings. Includes trend chart, acquisition source breakdown (walk-in, referral, social, Google), and event type distribution. |
