A sales analyzer turns the spreadsheet where you log your sales into answers: how much you sold, how many orders that was, how much each customer spends per order, which products carry your business and which ones are slipping. No formulas or pivot tables: the report is built right in your browser.
What each metric means
Say one week of your file has five lines: order 1 has rice for $200 and oil for $100 from Rosa's Store; order 2 is rice for $300 from Sunrise Mart; order 3 is flour for $250 from Main Street Bakery; and order 4 is rice for $150 from Rosa's Store again.
- Total sales is the sum of the amount column: $1,000.
- Orders are the distinct order numbers. Order 1 has two lines but is a single order, so there are 4.
- Average order value = total sales ÷ orders = $1,000 ÷ 4 = $250.
- Product share = product sales ÷ total sales. Rice sold $650, or 65%.
- Concentration is how much of your sales comes from your top customers. Rosa's Store bought $450 of $1,000, or 45%.
- Cross-selling: of the customers who buy A, how many also buy B. Two customers bought rice and one of them also bought oil, so P(oil | rice) = 1 ÷ 2 = 50%. Sunrise Mart is who you offer the oil to.
Declining products and lapsed customers
To spot a decline, the tool compares a recent period with an earlier one of the same length. If a product sold $3,000 from April to June and $1,800 from July to September, the drop is ($3,000 − $1,800) ÷ $3,000 = 40%, and you sold $1,200 less. Only products that made up at least 2% of sales and dropped 25% or more are listed. A customer has stopped buying when they bought two or more times and their last purchase is more than twice their usual gap and more than 30 days before the last date in the file.
How to prepare your file
Use one row per sale or invoice line, one header row and real dates. Amounts like $1,234.56 or 1.234,56 both work: the decimal separator is decided by looking at the whole column. Save old .xls files as .xlsx or .csv first. When you'd rather not export a file every week, Zavora's order automation logs each WhatsApp order for you. See pricing or browse more free tools.
