Introducing The AI Dashboard

I’m excited to introduce our new AI Sales Overview Dashboard, designed to provide a clear, centralized view of key sales performance. The dashboard summarizes important sales data and AI-powered insights to help quickly identify opportunities, monitor performance, and make more informed, data-driven decisions. This new resource is intended to simplify business management, giving greater visibility into what’s happening across the business and where to focus efforts for the greatest impact.

To enable the AI Dashboard for your business, reach out to our support team at 718-522-0909 or send an email to info@firstchoicepos.com

The AI Dashboard summary can be configured to be delivered directly via email on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Alternatively, once enabled, use the new upper-right AI button in Backoffice to access the AI Dashboard.

The Dashboard provides a quick, high-level overview of products, sales growth, payment methods, and overall store performance. As part of the comprehensive business overview, it displays the total number of transactions alongside a circular Daily Pulse visualization, which illustrates revenue throughout the day highlighting the busiest period.

The Dashboard also includes a breakdown of payment methods, a ranked list of products by sales with percentage changes to highlight momentum, and a summary of sites and stations. Together, these insights make it easy to identify top-performing products, locations, and key revenue drivers at a glance.

The lower dashboard cards bring key sales insights into focus, with AI Recommended Actions highlighting important business details that would require further review or action. Supporting charts visualize sales performance across time, days, product categories, and store locations, helping teams quickly understand what’s driving revenue and where opportunities exist.
