We did a small survey to find out what people miss in their sales software or what is their wishlist for a sales report software. The top five most popular answers, in the words of these people, are below

"I know a sales software is as good as the data which you enter. I had purchased a software online long time ago, without realising that it originated from a different country than mine whose tax and duty stucture was way different. I think a good sales software should be customizable at the user-end, or it should follow a basic general input method which is independing of country-specific practices"

"I hate softwares that does things that I can easily do in Excel. I would love a sales report software that does not only produce the data, but also computes it, say generating a year-over-year sales report for a particular month for a particlar product"

"There are only three things that I would always like to record and monitor in my sales career - my sales figures, contact list and my sales expenses. I've always found that the softwares overlook or ignore the expenses part, which I believe is very important"

"As a businesswoman, I would not like my sales manager to use the same software as I do, since it would expose my purchase and income details to him. Besides having a stand alone sales software for him, I would want the software to track receivables as well, since payment receivables are what that drives any business and not merely the sales"

"When there are big scheduled orders and several part shipments, it is tough task for me to calculate how much supply is still pending. I wish a sales management software would produce pending supplies report"

To get an idea how would the reports be sorted, take a look at the menus below

1) Invoiced Sales Reports Menu

Invoiced sales reports can be grouped by Quarter (calender year), Month, Region, State, City or District, Territory, Customer or Product, and can also be obtained for any of these specific variables, say a specific customer

Example report below : Grouped by Customer for Region 'West' and Month 'July'

Invoiced sales quick-view enables you to quickly view the invoiced sales on your screen simply by selecting from the dropdown menu. 'Error' appears when there is no data to be displayed for selected variable.

5) Booked Sales Reports

The booked sales reports are similar to the invoiced sales reports (no.1 above), with the difference that the reports here reflect the sales that have been booked. This includes invoiced as well as pending sales.

6) Booked Sales Not Invoiced

These reports show the sales that have been booked but not yet invoiced. They therefore reflect pending supplies. Reports can be sorted by Customer or date, and can be obtained for a specific customer or PO number

Example report below : Grouped by Customer

7) Receivables

The receivables menu presents payment collections reports sorted by customer, due date, or value and for specific year, customer or invoice. For each of these, three different reports are available - payments received reports, receivables pending report, and receivables pending and overdue report

10) Lead Management

The lead management tab allows adding of business leads. The input form has a field where leads can be marked as 'open' or 'closed'. Open leads can be closed by editing that lead. Reports are available both for open as well as closed leads and also for a specific lead.
