ANALYTICS & REPORTING

Analytics & Reporting: Six Reports, Built From Orders You Already Took

Open Pantry’s Reporting section answers the questions a wholesale business actually asks: what did we sell and at what margin, which customers are growing and which have gone quiet, which products earn their shelf space, and how this period compares with the last. Nothing is assembled by hand — it reads the same orders your warehouse picked.

  • Six reports: Overview, Customers, Products, Lapsed Purchases, Trends and Sales Team
  • One date range drives every tab — 28 days out to 12 months, or your own dates
  • Customers and Products export to a spreadsheet

The numbers exist. Getting them into one place is the whole job.

Pick a Period, Then Read

1

Set the period once

One date control at the top of Reporting drives every tab — 28 days, 30 days, 60 days, 3, 6 or 12 months, or a custom range. Change it once and every report moves with it.

2

Start on Overview

Revenue excluding GST, average order value, order count, gross margin and active customers, with revenue over time, your sales mix by category and what you are owed.

3

Go to the tab that answers the question

Customers for account health, Products for what earns its place, Lapsed Purchases for what is slipping away, Trends for the comparison, Sales Team for the people.

4

Export what you need to share

The customer list, the opportunity list and both product exports come out as a spreadsheet you can send to a bookkeeper or a rep.

Six reports, one date range

Reporting is not one dashboard with a hundred filters. It is six purpose-built views, each answering a question a wholesaler already asks out loud, and they all share a single period control so you are never comparing one report’s six months with another’s thirty days. That sounds small. It is the reason two people reading the same screen get the same number.

  • Overview — revenue, orders, margin, receivables and risk in one place
  • Customers, Products, Lapsed Purchases, Trends and Sales Team behind it
  • One period control: 28 days to 12 months, or your own dates
  • Everything derived from real orders, not from a separate data entry

Every customer, scored — not just listed

The Customers report gives each account its revenue, order count, average order value, days since the last order and a risk level, and lets you filter to just the ones that are growing, declining, at risk, or represent an opportunity. How hard it judges is yours to set: a low sensitivity flags only the accounts that have clearly stopped, a high one catches a venue that is merely slowing. Open a row and you get that customer’s own sales, profit and cost over the period, their top products and their category mix.

  • Revenue, orders, average order value, last order and risk level per account
  • Filter to growing, declining, at risk or opportunity
  • Risk sensitivity you set — low, medium or high
  • Expand a customer for their sales, profit, cost and category mix

Which products earn their place — and where the margin leaks

The Products report shows revenue, units sold, average sell price and gross margin per SKU, filtered by category, with a margin watchlist that pulls your ten lowest-margin lines to the top. It is the report that ends arguments about a product that sells beautifully and makes nothing. One honesty note we would rather state than hide: gross margin is built from the cost recorded on your stock movements, so lines with no cost price sit outside it.

  • Revenue, units, average sell price and gross margin per product
  • Filter by category, and open a product for its own trend
  • A margin watchlist of your ten lowest-margin lines
  • Margin excludes products with no cost price — and says so on screen

What is slipping, and who should be doing something about it

Two reports exist for the money you have not lost yet. Lapsed Purchases watches the rhythm each customer has actually established, line by line, and flags what has stopped, slowed or shrunk with the monthly revenue at risk beside it — and lets you snooze, dismiss, annotate or mark something seasonal so the list stays trustworthy. Sales Team turns the same data into a scorecard per rep: accounts held, revenue against the previous period, at-risk count, opportunities and a book-health score, with the customers behind each number.

  • Lapsed Purchases: stopped, slowing or reducing, with revenue at risk
  • Snooze, dismiss, note or mark seasonal, so the list stays honest
  • Per-rep scorecards with book health and the customers behind them
  • Opportunities valued in dollars rather than flagged as a hunch

A report you have to build is a report you build twice a year.

Everyone means to review the numbers monthly. Almost nobody does, because the review starts with four exports and an afternoon, and by the time it is finished it describes a month you cannot change. Reporting that reads the orders directly removes the assembly step entirely — so the question moves from “can we get the numbers?” to “what are we going to do about them?”. That is also why the reports that matter most here are the forward-looking ones: an account that is slowing is still yours to keep.

Questions Suppliers Ask About Reporting

What reports does Open Pantry give a supplier?
Six: Overview (revenue, orders, margin, receivables and risk), Customers, Products, Lapsed Purchases, Trends and Sales Team. They share one date range, and every figure comes from the orders you have already processed rather than from a separate data entry step.
What date ranges can I report on?
Last 28 days, 30 days, 60 days, 3 months, 6 months — which is the default — 12 months, or a custom date range you choose. The control sits at the top of Reporting and applies to every tab at once.
Can I export a report?
The Customers tab exports your customer list and your opportunity list, and the Products tab exports a products summary and a products-by-customer breakdown. They come out as spreadsheets. The Overview, Trends and Sales Team tabs are read on screen rather than exported.
Can I get reports emailed to me on a schedule?
Not today — there is no scheduled or emailed report. Reporting is somewhere you go rather than something that arrives. In practice the operational dashboard covers the daily "what needs doing" question, and Reporting is opened when you want to look properly.
How does it calculate gross margin?
From the cost recorded against your stock movements when the sale happened, compared with what you billed. That means it is a real cost rather than an assumption — but lines with no cost price recorded sit outside the calculation, and the screen says so where the figure appears.
How current are the numbers?
Current when you open the page, within a few minutes. Some of the heavier aggregates are cached briefly so the page loads quickly, and the lapsed-purchase analysis is computed overnight — everything else is read from your live orders.
How is this different from the margin and COGS page?
Reporting is the breadth: sales, customers, products, trends and the sales team. Margin & COGS Analytics is the depth on profitability specifically — margin by product, customer and delivery run. Most suppliers use Reporting weekly and go to the margin view when a number there surprises them.
Can I see which customers are about to stop ordering?
That is what Lapsed Purchases is for. It compares each customer and product line against the rhythm that customer has actually established, and flags what has stopped, slowed or shrunk with the monthly revenue at risk. You can snooze, dismiss, note or mark a line seasonal so the list keeps its credibility.
Can every teammate see the reports?
No — reporting is hidden for warehouse, picking, packing and delivery seats, and the sales team overview is limited to admins, with a rep seeing their own scorecard. Access is set per teammate, so you decide who sees revenue and margin.
Which plan includes reporting?
Reporting is included on the paid plans; on the free plan the section is visible but locked. The pricing page sets out exactly what each plan includes.
