With a repair shop software like Fixh IT the Multi-shop Dashboard aggregates revenue, repairs, and inventory from all your locations into a single view, to compare performance across shops and spot right away where to step in.
When a company opens a second or third location, the question that comes up almost immediately is how to keep track of how every shop is doing without having to open a separate page for each one. With a repair shop software like Fixh IT this need is covered by the Multi-shop Dashboard: a consolidated view that aggregates revenue, repairs, and inventory from all locations in a single screen.
Why it matters for a company with multiple shops
Managing several stores means constantly having to answer questions like: which shop is performing best this month? Where are late repairs piling up? At which location is a product about to run out? Without an aggregated view, answering these questions requires opening each shop separately and adding up the data by hand, a slow and error-prone process. Fixh IT's Multi-shop Dashboard solves this by showing the key data from all locations side by side, letting you spot in seconds where to step in.
How it works in practice
From the Administration > Multi-shop Dashboard section you'll find a view that automatically aggregates revenue, the number of open and completed repairs, and inventory levels for each active location of the company. The data is organized by shop, so you can quickly compare each location's performance over the same period, spotting which store is growing and which needs attention.
The consolidated dashboard sits alongside each shop's detailed view: you can start from the aggregated view to get the overall picture, then drill into a specific location when you need to dig into a particular figure, for example the reason behind a drop in revenue or a buildup of late repairs at a specific store.
Quick guide
- Go to Administration > Multi-shop Dashboard from the main menu.
- Select the reference period (daily, monthly, yearly) you want to compare locations over.
- Check the aggregated view of revenue, repairs, and inventory for all active locations.
- Compare performance across shops to spot the best or worst-performing one.
- Click on a specific location to access its detailed view when you need to dig deeper.
- Use the available filters to isolate only some locations, if the company manages many.
- Repeat the check periodically to monitor the company's progress over time.
Real-world use cases
A company with three shops notices, from the consolidated dashboard, that one location has a much higher number of late repairs than the others: the owner quickly steps in by organizing additional staff at that location.
A group with multiple stores compares monthly revenue across locations to decide where to focus a new marketing campaign, based on real data instead of impressions.
A company in expansion mode uses the multi-shop dashboard to evaluate which of its existing locations is performing best, using it as a model for opening a new one.
Tips and best practices
Check the consolidated dashboard on a regular basis (for example weekly) rather than only when a problem arises: spotting a performance drop at a location early lets you step in before it becomes a serious issue. Use the comparison between locations to share best practices: if one shop gets better results on a particular metric, understanding why can help replicate the same approach at the other locations.
Common mistakes to avoid
The first mistake is comparing very different locations, in size or customer base, as if they were equivalent: a shop in a city center and one in a suburban area naturally have different volumes, and should be evaluated with that context in mind. Another common mistake is looking only at the company-wide aggregated figure without ever drilling into individual locations: the multi-shop dashboard is precisely useful for spotting the differences between shops, not for hiding them in a general average.
