Dashboard

The Dashboard provides a centralized operational overview of key performance metrics, recent inventory activity, and customer sentiment. It enables users to monitor business performance at a glance and supports informed, data-driven decision making across sales, inventory, marketing, and operations.

1. Statistics Overview​

The Dashboard displays key performance indicators (KPIs) as cards at the top of the interface. Each KPI card includes:

  • the current value
  • a descriptive label
  • a trend indicator vs. the previous period
  • a date selector to adjust comparison ranges

Common KPIs include:

  • Average Selling Price
  • Average Days to Sell
  • Average Age of Inventory
  • Total Repair Cost
  • Gross Profit Margin
  • Cars Added Per Day
  • Customer Satisfaction

Trend indicators use color coding such as green for improvement and red for decline.

2. Time Range Selection​

Users can adjust KPI calculations based on their preferred comparison period. Supported ranges include:

  • This Week
  • Last Week
  • This Month
  • Last Month

Selecting a range instantly recalculates all KPIs and comparison trends.

3. Recent Cars​

The Recent Cars panel displays inventory items that have recently entered the system or progressed through key operational stages.

For each vehicle, the Dashboard may show:

Display Size Options​

Users can choose how dense the vehicle list appears. Available size presets are:
