Summary

View live sales so owners and managers can monitor current trading activity and react faster during service.

Before you begin

  • Make sure the business is actively trading
  • Confirm your account has access to live reporting
  • Use the correct location or reporting context before reading the numbers
  • Make sure the data is synced before drawing conclusions

Steps

  1. Open the Reports area in Selio.
  2. Go to the live sales view.
  3. Review the current sales figures on screen.
  4. Check whether the numbers align with the current service period.
  5. Use the live view to spot unusual changes, strong periods, or slowdowns.
  6. Compare the live picture with what the team is seeing on the floor.
  7. Revisit the view during the shift as needed.

Troubleshooting

  • Live sales look lower than expected: Confirm the right location, time context, and active devices are included.
  • The numbers do not seem to refresh: Recheck sync and reload the report view.
  • Managers react too quickly to partial data: Use live sales for visibility, then validate with deeper reports if needed.
  • The team is unsure what to monitor first: Focus on current total movement, unusual drops, and whether activity matches service reality.
