What is Live Insights?
The Live Insights widget combines live sales from point-of-sale systems with the Live Wage calculations in Workforce.com, giving you a granular view of your day of operations.
You can use it to make staffing decisions to keep your wage in control, or sales and marketing decisions to increase your sales. You can report in real-time, or look back at previous days.
Who can see Live Insights?
Managers of a team/location are able to view a location's store data.
If a manager is unable to view specific staff wages, the cost + wage percentage will vary as it will only display the costs of who the manager can see.
How to begin using Live Insights
If you use one of our supported POS systems (see here), the Live Insights widget will begin to populate with data once you have integrated your POS system.
To start using Live Insights, set up your revenue streams on the Sales and Revenue page and then assign your data to organization and/or location on the Datastreams page.
To switch from Live Wage Tracker, click the settings cog icon on the widget:
Day so far
Accrued wages and accrued sales
Day so far Wage % of Revenue or SPLH (change this via the cog in the top right corner)
