Navigate to Admin > Analytics for any store. The URL follows the pattern:

You must have Dashboard access permissions and be assigned to the store to view analytics data. The base analytics URL redirects to the Inventory dashboard by default.

BuyerKiosk Analytics includes six specialized dashboards, each focused on a different aspect of store performance:

Each dashboard has its own navigation links so you can move between them easily.

The Inventory Analytics dashboard is the default landing page. It uses a draggable, resizable panel layout with four main sections:

Four cards across the top provide at-a-glance metrics:

A color-coded column chart showing how many items fall into each days-to-sale bucket:

Hover over any bar to see the item count and average margin for that bucket.

A grid of cards showing each product category's momentum signal. Categories are sorted by signal strength:

A full-width heatmap that visually maps each category's performance change. Colors range from blue (declining) through gray (stable) to orange (growing). Hover over any cell to see the category name, signal type, percentage change, and item count.

A timeline of the most recent momentum crossover events -- when categories shift from accelerating to decelerating or vice versa.

The P&L Dashboard provides a comprehensive profit-and-loss view with four sections:

Four cards at the top display:

Each card shows a year-over-year variance indicator (up/down arrow with percentage) when prior-year data is available.

A detailed table comparing current period metrics to the same period last year:

Each row shows this year's value, last year's value, the dollar/point variance, and the percentage change. Green indicates improvement; red indicates decline. For Return Rate, a decrease is shown in green since lower returns are better.

Two side-by-side charts:

A combination chart showing daily sales count (blue columns), daily buy count (orange columns), and the B/S ratio as a purple line. The Financial Insights panel alongside it summarizes transaction count, buy count, average B/S ratio, total returns, and margin rate.

The Seller Retention dashboard tracks how well your store retains sellers who bring in merchandise:

The dashboard includes a New vs Returning pie chart and a cohort retention analysis.

This dashboard helps you understand customer wait times and their impact on satisfaction:

The dashboard features a wait time heatmap by day and hour, helping you identify the busiest times and plan staffing accordingly.

The Peer Comparison dashboard lets you benchmark your store's performance against similar stores. Privacy is preserved -- you only see anonymized peer averages, never individual store data.

You can compare against three peer groups:

Three comparison cards show your store vs the peer average for:

Percentile labels indicate your standing: "Top X%" for high performers, "Above Average," "Below Average," or "Bottom X%" for areas needing improvement.

A full breakdown comparing your store to peers across all tracked metrics including average daily revenue, total revenue, average daily buys, average purchase amount, wait time, NPS score, and daily customer count.

Tip: Use the Peer Comparison dashboard during weekly manager meetings to identify areas where your store can improve relative to similar locations.

The Pricing dashboard analyzes how your pricing by brand and subcategory affects sell-through rates:

Every dashboard includes a Date Range dropdown in the header with these preset options:

Select a preset and the dashboard reloads automatically. You can also click the Refresh button to force a data refresh at any time.

Analytics data is sourced from your store's transaction records, buy queue, and close-of-day sales reports. Key points about data freshness:

The Inventory Analytics dashboard supports CSV export for velocity report data. Look for the export endpoint at:

Additional export options may be available depending on your account configuration.
