Business Control Intelligence™ combines the transaction truth inside the POS with the private costs and obligations the owner understands. It separates revenue from profit, payment from collection, busy activity from productive activity and reported averages from the decisions required at the counter.
Know the true operating requirement
The owner needs the monthly cost of opening the business before setting sales targets or prices. Wages should include superannuation, payroll tax where applicable, workers compensation and other employment costs rather than base hourly rates alone.
- Rent, utilities and fixed overhead
- Loaded wages and productive hours
- Equipment finance and maintenance
- Software, merchant and communication costs
- Owner wage, tax and target-profit requirements
Connect cost to the sold work
Total break-even becomes more useful when translated into cost per day, productive hour, ticket, item or customer. Those measures do not create an automatic price, but they expose whether common items are carrying enough of the business.
- Break-even sales per month and day
- Cost per productive hour and minute
- Cost per ticket and item
- Minimum and target-profit price
- Service mix and capacity constraints
Control cash, collection and customer behaviour
A sale does not always mean cash has arrived, and a ready ticket may still occupy store space and owner capital. Measure pay-now, pay-later, unpaid and time-to-money together with customer return behaviour.
- Paid, unpaid and part-paid work
- Ready-but-uncollected value
- Time from drop-off to payment and pickup
- Repeat, one-time and lost customers
- Conservative recovery and pricing actions
The POS finds the transaction truth. Private cost inputs are required before the system can estimate break-even and target-profit pricing.
