How a Retail Business Achieved Smarter Decisions with Advanced Dashboard Ninja in Odoo
Our client, a mid-sized retail company, operates across multiple locations and depends on timely, data-driven decisions to manage inventory, track sales performance, and enhance customer experience. However, their reporting workflows were manual, disconnected, and inefficient—limiting their ability to respond swiftly to market dynamics. They needed a smarter, integrated analytics tool to keep pace with operational demands.
Before implementing Advanced Dashboard Ninja, the client faced several challenges:
- No Real-Time Analytics: Business-critical data—such as stock turnover rates, sales performance, and customer behavior—was only accessible through periodic reports, often delayed by hours or even days. This made it difficult for decision-makers to act on emerging trends or respond swiftly to operational issues.
- Rigid Reporting Structure: The existing Odoo environment required technical expertise for any dashboard customization. This reliance on developers caused delays, limited the flexibility of business users, and created a disconnect between strategic needs and technical execution.
- Time-Consuming Reports: Weekly reporting cycles consumed significant man-hours. Generating and compiling insights from multiple modules (Sales, Inventory, Accounting) involved manual data exports, spreadsheet work, and repetitive formatting—taking up to 5 hours per report.
- Limited Visibility: Departmental silos prevented unified visibility. Store managers, regional heads, and finance executives lacked a shared, real-time dashboard that presented a consolidated view of KPIs. As a result, cross-functional collaboration and top-down strategy alignment were often delayed or misinformed.
To address these challenges, Ksolves implemented Advanced Dashboard Ninja, empowering the client with a robust and intuitive analytics framework within Odoo. Here's how the solution delivered value:
- Live Dashboards: We designed and deployed real-time dashboards that captured data directly from Odoo modules, allowing teams to monitor stock levels, daily sales, and revenue targets instantly—without delays or refresh gaps.
- Custom SQL Reports: With Advanced Dashboard Ninja’s SQL Query Builder, we developed specialized visual reports to track retail-specific KPIs such as store-wise sales comparison, fast-moving SKUs, and discount effectiveness—tailored exactly to stakeholder needs.
- Interactive Visuals: The solution featured drag-and-drop widgets, pie charts, bar graphs, pivot tables, and trend lines that made data more digestible for non-technical users. Executives could explore metrics without needing backend support.
- Full Module Integration: The dashboards were seamlessly integrated with all essential Odoo modules—Sales, Inventory, CRM, and Accounting. This ensured a unified data flow and eliminated silos, enabling holistic and accurate performance monitoring.
- 45% Productivity Boost: With real-time dashboards replacing static reports, managers could instantly identify issues and opportunities—speeding up approvals, restocking, and campaign decisions.
- 80% Reduction in Reporting Time: Automating the reporting process allowed teams to generate insightful dashboards in just one hour per week, compared to five—freeing up four hours for strategic work and customer engagement.
- Faster Strategic Moves: The executive team now had the agility to react to dips in sales, low inventory, or high-performing products—enabling data-backed actions like instant price adjustments, marketing pushes, or inventory redistribution.
For this retail client, Advanced Dashboard Ninja redefined what business intelligence looks like within Odoo. With customized, real-time dashboards and easy-to-use tools, the client transitioned from static reporting to dynamic insights—gaining measurable performance improvements and a lasting competitive edge.
