Sales reports

Retail sales reporting software for the questions you actually ask.

What sold today? Which lines are slowing down? Who still owes money? POS2026 turns every sale into reports you can filter by date, product, category or customer, and export when you need to share them.

Person using a point-of-sale machine in a store — Every sale at the till becomes a line in the report.

In short

Retail sales reporting software turns the sales recorded at your till into reports you can read and act on. POS2026 includes sales, product, customer and payment reports, with filters for date range, category, product and customer, plus export options. Reports are built from the same records as checkout and stock, so an end-of-day or weekly report is ready the moment you close.

Most tills can print a total at the end of the day. That number helps with cashing up, but it cannot tell you why Tuesday was quiet, which lines are slowing down, or how much of the week was paid in cash. Those questions need the detail behind each sale, kept in a form you can sort and filter.

In POS2026, every sale taken through POS Sales is saved with its products, quantities, discount and payment method, and with the customer when you record one. Report draws on those records together with stock, income and expenses, so your POS reports and your back office always agree.

Why reports get skipped

Why sales reports get ignored in small shops.

The data is usually there. Getting to it is the hard part.

A till roll, not a report

A printed total shows how much, not what or why. Working out best sellers from paper is too slow to do every week.
No time after closing

At the end of a long day nobody wants to build a spreadsheet. If a report takes more than a few minutes, it does not get done.
A drawer that does not balance

When the cash is short, you need the day's takings by payment method to find out why.
Too much, or not enough

Some systems bury you in charts. A small shop needs a few reports it can narrow to the question in hand.

01 · End of day

An end of day sales report in a few taps.

At closing, open the sales report and filter it to today. You see what sold, what was discounted and the total. Switch to the payment report for the same day to see takings by payment method: the figure to check against the cash in the drawer and your card machine's own end-of-day total.

If something does not match, the sales history lets you open the individual transactions behind the total and find the one that was rung up wrongly.

Today's sales

Products, quantities, discounts and the day's total.

Payments by method

Cash, card and other methods, to check against the drawer.

The sales behind it

Open any transaction when a figure needs checking.

How Sales works

Grocery store filled with fresh produce — Fast movers and slow movers, side by side.

02 · Weekly review

A short weekly routine worth keeping.

Once a week, set the date filter to the last seven days and look at three things: sales by category, the slowest movers, and what customers still owe. Compare with the week before. That is enough to decide what to reorder, what to promote and who to call about an unpaid balance.

Product reports cover sales and stock together, so a line that is selling fast and running low stands out. The Dashboard shows sales charts and trends on the first screen, which makes a strong or weak week obvious before you open a report.

Product reports

Sales and stock by product, including what is low.

Customer reports

Who bought, how often and what they still owe.

Week on week

The same filters on two periods show the change.

03 · Retail analytics

Retail analytics for small business, without a data team.

Analytics in a small shop means answering a few questions well. Which categories carry the shop? Which days are busiest? Which customers keep coming back? Customisable filters narrow any report by date range, category, product or customer, so the same report answers a different question each time you use it.

Sales figures mean more next to costs. Loss/Profit uses the same sales records with product costs and expenses, so a best seller by revenue can be checked against what it actually earns.

Customisable filters

Date range, category, product, customer and more.

By category

See which parts of the range carry the shop.

Linked to profit

The same sales records feed Loss/Profit.

04 · Export

Sales report software that is easy to share.

Export options take report data out of POS2026 for your accountant, a business partner or your own spreadsheet. Monthly sales, payments received and expenses are the figures an accountant usually asks for, and exporting them from one place beats gathering receipts and till rolls.

Export options

Take report data out for sharing or records.

Four report types

Sales, customers, products and payments.

Questions

Common questions.

Straight answers for shop owners, based on what POS2026 actually does.

What is an end of day sales report?

A summary of everything sold during the trading day, usually with totals by payment method, used to check the cash drawer and card takings. In POS2026 you filter the sales and payment reports to today to get it.

What reports should a small retail shop run?

Each day: sales and takings by payment method, to cash up. Weekly: sales by category, slow movers and customer balances. Monthly: profit after expenses and the figures your accountant needs.

Can I export POS reports to a spreadsheet?

POS2026 has export options that take report data out of the app for a spreadsheet or your accountant. Try an export during the free trial to check it fits the way you work.

Does POS2026 print an X or Z report?

POS2026 does not use those names. Running the sales and payment reports for the day gives you the same information, and you can export it.

Can I see sales by member of staff?

POS2026 does not offer staff-level reporting or staff permissions. Its reports cover sales, customers, products and payments.

Do I need a separate analytics tool?

For most small shops, no. The Dashboard shows key metrics, sales charts and trends, and Report answers specific questions with filters. POS2026 does not connect to outside analytics tools.
