Delivery Reports and Analytics

Delivery reporting in wallmarkets works best when you read deliveries and returns together.

That is the practical view of the business: what value went out, what value came back, and which supermarkets or products are shaping the month.

This guide covers the reporting surfaces that exist today and how to use them without turning them into decorative charts.

Start with the reports page

Go to Reports in the sidebar.

The main reports page gives you a date-based view of the business with two parallel tables:

• deliveries for the selected period
• returns for the same period

At the top of the page you also get the headline counts and values for both sides. That is enough to answer the first useful question:

Did this period look healthy, or did return value eat into the work we actually completed?

What to read first

The fastest useful read is this four-number set:

• total deliveries
• delivery value
• total returns
• return value

Those numbers tell you whether volume and value are moving together and whether returns are becoming a bigger share of the story than they should be.

If the headline looks off, move down into the tables immediately instead of trying to explain the business from totals alone.

Use the delivery table to find concentration

The delivery table is not just a log. It tells you where operational weight is concentrated.

Scan it for:

• supermarkets that appear repeatedly
• unusually large delivery values
• date clusters where activity spiked

When one supermarket or one day starts dominating the table, that usually deserves a closer look in the delivery detail pages and the dashboard.

Read returns beside deliveries, not separately

Return reporting becomes much more useful when you stop treating returns as their own disconnected workflow.

Look at the return table and ask:

• which supermarkets are appearing again and again
• whether high return value is tied to a small number of deliveries
• whether a product or account pattern is becoming obvious

This is where wallmarkets becomes operationally helpful. The system keeps returns linked to original deliveries, so you can move from the report into the exact record that created the problem.

Use the analytics dashboard when you need a deeper cut

If the basic reports page tells you something deserves investigation, open the analytics dashboard.

That view gives you richer analysis across filters such as:

• date range
• supermarket
• category

Depending on your data, you can review views such as:

• profit analysis
• cohort performance
• seasonal trends
• inventory recommendations
• product correlation
• forecast views
• detailed data tables

You do not need to read every tab every week. The right workflow is usually:

1. notice something on the main reports page
2. open analytics to explain it
3. go back to the specific delivery, return, product, or supermarket records that need action

Exports that are actually useful

There are two export habits worth keeping:

• export the delivery list when finance or operations needs a fixed record of what went out
• export the combined report when you need deliveries and returns in one spreadsheet for follow-up work

CSV is the most practical format for wallmarkets reporting today. It travels well, it is easy to filter, and it keeps you close to the raw records instead of presentation polish.

A simple review cadence

Most teams do not need a complex reporting ritual.

Daily

Check delivery value, return value, and the most recent activity.

Weekly

Review which supermarkets and products dominated the period.

Monthly

Look for recurring patterns:

• accounts that create more return work than expected
• products that keep showing up in problem records
• periods where value moved without equivalent net improvement

Common mistakes

Reading only delivery value

A busy week can still be a bad week if the return side grew with it.

Exporting before you understand the question

The on-screen reports are usually the fastest way to find the pattern. Export after you know what you are trying to explain.

Looking at totals without opening the underlying record

Numbers point you toward the problem. The delivery or return detail page usually explains it.
