Comparing Branch Performance with the Map View
How to use the AskBiz POS Map tab to see geo-tagged sales across your locations, and how to compare branch performance using the branch filter across all reports.
Key Takeaways
- The Map tab shows geo-tagged sales plotted on a map — 23 sales in the last 30 days in this example.
- Each dot on the map represents a completed sale, giving you a visual sense of where business is concentrated.
- Use the Branch filter on any report to compare revenue, margin, and return rate by location.
- The Branches tab shows staff count and product count per branch for a quick operational health check.
23 geo-tagged sales on the Map view
The Map tab in AskBiz POS shows every sale that has a location attached — from customers who've agreed to share location data or from delivery sales that are geo-tagged by default. In the last 30 days, there are 23 geo-tagged sales visible on this map. Each plotted point represents a completed transaction. The map has zoom controls (+ and -) to zoom into specific neighbourhoods or zoom out for a city-level view. This is useful for understanding the geographic reach of your sales and spotting untapped areas.
What geo-tagging tells you about your customers
Clusters of geo-tagged sales on the map reveal where your customers are physically located. If most of your town branch sales cluster within a 2km radius but there are scattered sales 10km away, it suggests some customers travel specifically to your store — a signal that a second branch in that distant area might capture new demand. Sparse coverage in an area might indicate a marketing opportunity: reaching customers who live nearby but don't know about you yet.

For a direct financial comparison between branches, switch to the Overview tab and use the Branch dropdown to toggle between locations. Note the Revenue and Margin for town, then switch to Bondeni and compare. For a more structured comparison, go to Operations > Reports > Sales report and run the same report for each branch in turn. Key metrics to compare: Revenue per day, Avg sale (which reflects upselling effectiveness), and Margin % (which shows whether pricing and costs are consistent across locations).
Identifying your strongest and weakest locations
Once you have branch-by-branch data, rank your locations by Avg sale rather than just total revenue. A branch with lower footfall but higher Avg sale per customer is actually converting more value per transaction — this might reflect a better-trained team or a different product mix. Conversely, high footfall with low Avg sale suggests either a lot of small purchases or cashiers not suggestive-selling. These insights help you decide where to invest in staff training or product ranging.
Monitoring the Bondeni branch ramp-up
The Bondeni branch currently shows 0 staff and 0 products — it has been created but not yet stocked or staffed. Use the Branches tab to track its setup progress: add staff accounts (go to Staff > edit each cashier to add Bondeni as a permitted branch), import or scan products into Bondeni's inventory, and run the till for the first time. Once the first transactions appear, Bondeni's data will show on the Map and be selectable in the Branch dropdown across all reports, giving you a true multi-location comparison.
