Finance & Analytics
What is the Analytics dashboard?
The Finance & Analytics page gives you a bird's-eye view of your business performance. It transforms your raw booking data into interactive charts, summary cards, and trend analysis — covering revenue, booking volumes, service mix, client activity, and seasonal patterns. Everything updates in real time based on the bookings stored in your system. No spreadsheets required.
How the Analytics dashboard works
The page is built around a view selector and five visualisation panels. Here is what each one shows and how to use it:
Summary cards
At the very top, four key metrics are displayed as bold stat cards: Total Clients (registered accounts), Total Pets (all pets on file), Total Bookings (lifetime count), and Monthly Revenue (current month's confirmed revenue). These numbers update live as new bookings come in.
View selector
The dropdown in the top-right corner lets you switch between different analytics views: Revenue Analysis, Booking Trends, Service Distribution, Booking Status, Client Analytics, and Monthly Comparison. Each view renders a different chart below the summary cards.
Revenue Analysis view
Shows a bar chart of monthly revenue for the current year. Each bar represents one month's total revenue from confirmed bookings. Hover over any bar to see the exact figure. Below the chart, an area chart shows the cumulative revenue trend — useful for spotting whether you are on track for your annual target.
Booking Trends view
Displays a stacked bar chart breaking down each month's bookings by status — Confirmed (green), Pending (amber), and Cancelled (red). This helps you spot patterns like high cancellation months or seasonal demand spikes.
Service Distribution view
A pie chart showing the split between your service types — Boarding, Daycare, Home Boarding, Dog Walking, etc. The percentage breakdown reveals which services generate the most bookings, helping you decide where to invest or promote.
Booking Status view
Another pie chart showing the overall split of booking statuses across all time — Confirmed, Pending, Cancelled, Completed. A healthy business typically shows 70%+ in Confirmed/Completed with low cancellation rates.
Client Analytics view
Shows your top clients by number of bookings and revenue contributed. A horizontal bar chart ranks clients by booking count, and a companion table shows each client's total spend. This is invaluable for identifying VIP clients who deserve loyalty rewards or priority booking access.
Monthly Comparison view
A line chart overlaying the current year's monthly revenue against the previous year (if data exists). This year-on-year comparison instantly shows whether your business is growing, plateauing, or declining — and in which months.
Tips & best practice
Check the Revenue Analysis view at the start of each month to compare against your targets — the cumulative area chart shows whether you are ahead or behind.
Use the Service Distribution pie chart to inform your marketing — if 80% of bookings are Boarding but you also offer Daycare, consider promoting Daycare more heavily.
The Client Analytics view reveals your top 20% of clients who likely generate 80% of revenue (the Pareto principle). Consider offering them loyalty discounts or referral bonuses.
High cancellation rates in the Booking Trends view may indicate a pricing issue, a poor booking experience, or insufficient deposit requirements.
All charts use your actual booking data — the more bookings in the system, the more accurate and useful the analytics become.
Export or screenshot charts for inclusion in your annual business review or local authority licence renewal documentation.
The Monthly Comparison view is most useful after your first full year of operation — it needs 12+ months of data to show meaningful trends.
