Daily Operations Report

As a cross-border seller, the first report you should check each day isn’t your sales ledger—it’s your Daily Operations Report.
This isn’t just raw data—it’s a distilled business battle briefing designed to help you:
Understand yesterday’s performance in 5 minutes, pinpoint critical issues in 10, and make actionable decisions in 30!


User Guide

1. Overall Summary

Quickly assess daily business health and instantly spot anomalies or highlights:

  • Core Metrics: Real-time display of key indicators—sales revenue, order volume, average order value (AOV), refund amount, and refund rate
  • Comparative Analysis: Automatically calculates vs. same day last week (week-over-week) and vs. same day last year (year-over-year) to eliminate baseline distortion
  • Trend Benchmark: Overlays 7-day averages to distinguish normal fluctuations from concentrated spikes
  • Risk Alert: Even with $0 refunds, surging sales still warrant vigilance on fulfillment and quality control

Action Tip: Sales exceeded 7-day average by 100%+? Immediately review traffic sources or promotional triggers to replicate success.

2. Channel & Store Performance

Precisely identify who’s driving growth—and who’s falling behind:

  • Yesterday’s Channel Contribution: Ranked by sales/orders to highlight the day’s top performer (e.g., Walmart at 100%)
  • 7-Day Cumulative Share: Reveals long-term strategic channels (e.g., BestBuy contributing 67.3%)
  • Anomaly Alert: A high-value channel had $0 sales yesterday? Investigate product status, ad pauses, or inventory sync failures
  • Store Focus: For multi-store accounts, aggregates performance to avoid misleading “averaged” insights

Action Tip: Prioritize fulfillment rhythm and inventory readiness for channels experiencing sudden volume spikes (e.g., Walmart).

3. Trend Insights

Detect long-term signals hidden within short-term volatility:

  • Daily Baseline: Calculates 7-day average sales and order volume
  • AOV Shift: Compares 7-day average AOV vs. yesterday’s to detect changes in customer purchasing behavior
  • Sales Concentration: Surging orders with declining AOV may indicate expansion into broader price-sensitive segments

Action Tip: If lower AOV accompanies higher volume, evaluate margin impact and optimize product mix accordingly.

4. Risks & Opportunities

Turn data into proactive actions for inventory, quality, and resource allocation:

🔴 Urgent Risks

  • Stockout Alert: Best-selling item at 0 inventory—already hurting conversion and rankings → Replenish immediately
  • Critical Inventory: Only ~15 days of stock remaining (e.g., tennis racquet), nearing the 14-day safety threshold → Schedule replenishment this week

🟢 High-Potential Opportunities

  • Channel Recovery: BestBuy had $0 sales yesterday despite contributing >⅔ of 7-day revenue → Audit new listings, main image updates, and ad budgets
  • Quality Safeguard: $0 refunds ≠ zero risk → Implement spot-checks and pre-shipment reviews for high-volume SKUs to prevent post-scale quality issues

5. Decision Support

Ensure every report drives real-world action:

  • Auto-Generated To-Dos: e.g., “Replenish 3 SKUs,” “Audit BestBuy listings,” “Analyze Walmart traffic source”
  • Customizable Thresholds: Adjust inventory alert days or AOV guardrails by category
  • Adaptable to All Stages: Growth-phase stores focus on traction; mature stores on efficiency; peak season on fulfillment—all using the same logic

💡 Remember: A great operations report doesn’t just tell you what happened—it tells you what to do today.
