What analytics do you guys actually look at when running your shop?
Genuinely curious — not talking about what your software spits out that you never check, I mean what numbers do you actually care about week to week.
We track some stuff internally but honestly feel like we’re guessing half the time on what’s worth paying attention to. Job profitability, press downtime, client reorder rate — does anyone actually have a good system for this or is it all just vibes and QuickBooks?
Also — I built a shop management tool that has some reporting built in and trying to figure out what to actually prioritize. Not trying to pitch it just genuinely don’t know what other shops give a shit about data wise.
