The problem it solves

You want to know if sales are trending up or down, but pulling those numbers together takes time you don't have. Instead of digging through reports every week, you get a straight answer waiting for you in Slack.

Who it fits

Best for owners or managers of a WooCommerce store who want a regular pulse on sales without running reports themselves.

How it works

  1. A schedule kicks off the report each morning or week
  2. The system pulls current, last month, and last year sales figures from your store
  3. It calculates the percentage change and finds your top-selling product
  4. It writes a short, clean summary and posts it to Slack
What you get

Sales trends compared to last year

Every week you get a clean summary comparing your store's sales and orders to last month and last year, posted to Slack.

What you get

A formatted Slack message showing revenue, order counts, growth trends, and your top-selling product.

What you need

A WooCommerce store, a Slack workspace, and a Google account for Sheets.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
