📊 Analytics Dashboards
The Analytics and Reports -> Analytics tab in Prediko gives you a flexible way to build your own dashboards and track the metrics that matter most to your business.
Instead of relying on fixed reports, you can create custom dashboards tailored to your workflows, whether that’s monitoring sales performance, tracking inventory movement, or analyzing stock health.
✨ Why use Analytics Dashboards?
Analytics dashboards are designed to help you:
Monitor key metrics in one place
Build different views for different teams (e.g., Sales, Inventory, Finance)
Spot trends quickly with visual charts
Drill down into data to understand what’s driving changes
Think of it as your command center for daily decision-making.
