Daily Flash
Daily Flash answers: What happened yesterday, and what should I check this morning?
What it shows
Section titled “What it shows”- Total sales, total profit, and profit margin.
- Invoice count.
- Sales broken down by major category — labor, parts, tires, wheels, sublet, and charges.
- Work in progress by status: open, in progress, waiting on parts, and completed.
- Cash position by method — cash, check, and credit card — when cash-drawer data is available.
Where the numbers come from
Section titled “Where the numbers come from”Daily Flash pulls yesterday’s sales, work order status, and cash-drawer totals. It has no adjustable date range — it always shows the previous day, so it is a consistent starting point every morning.
How to use it
Section titled “How to use it”Pull this up at your first check-in of the day. Look for low margin, unusual payment totals, or work orders waiting on parts that need a call before the day gets busy.
Why it may look wrong
Section titled “Why it may look wrong”- Yesterday’s work was closed after the report last refreshed.
- Cash-drawer data is missing or was not closed cleanly at end of day.
- The wrong shop is selected.
- The shop’s connection to TRACS was offline overnight.
