Mastering Profit Margins and Daily Sales Analytics with Sajilo IMS Reports
How Nepali shop owners can use Sajilo IMS sales, stock valuation, and daily reports to see margins and what actually sold—not only the cash in the drawer.
A busy day can still be a bad day if you discounted the wrong items or sold stock you bought too high. Daily analytics are how you see that before the month ends.
Sajilo IMS reports and stock valuation sit on the same sales and purchase records the counter already creates, so you are not rebuilding numbers in a sheet at night.
A daily rhythm that takes minutes
At close, read total sales, the top items, and anything that looks unlike a normal day: a huge discount, a return spike, or a tender that does not match the drawer. That is the flash view.
Compare it to yesterday only as a habit, not as a target. Festival weeks and rainy days move the baseline. The point is to notice surprises while the cashier still remembers them.
Margin needs cost, not only selling price
A sales report without purchase cost shows revenue, not profit. Keep costs updated when goods are received so valuation and margin are based on what you paid.
Watch items that sell fast at a thin margin and items that sit. The first may deserve a better supplier price. The second is cash stuck on a shelf. Stock valuation makes that visible by location.
Decisions the reports should change
Reorder what is both low and profitable. Stop automatic reorders of what did not move. Move excess from one branch to another before you buy more.
If a report does not change a purchase or a price, you are collecting numbers for display. Pick two reports and use them every week until they feel normal.
Frequently asked questions
- Can we trust margin on day one?
- Only if opening costs were entered carefully. Early margins are often wrong because old stock has a guessed cost. Correct costs as you receive new purchases.
- Do we still need Excel?
- For a special analysis, maybe. For daily sales and stock value, stay inside Sajilo IMS so you do not maintain a second set of totals.
