Sales Targets
-
This tab allows you to add sales targets for the store and staff members in Retail 365
-
These targets can be used to encourage better sales performance for the entire store or specific sales categories
-
The staff sales target set are shown on the XPOS till screen each time the staff member logs on to do a sale.
Please Note: Before proceeding with setting up these targets you MUST set the trading hours for your store in the Store settings tab first
To set the trading hours
-
go to the back office-->Configuration-->store settings
-
Scroll to the bottom of the screen to 'Trading Hours'
- If you're doing this from Head Office, in the top right-hand side of the screen choose from the drop down the store you want to set the trading hours for.
-
Enter the trading hours for each day.
- Note if you do not trade on Sunday then leave it as 00:00
-
Once your hours have been entered the system will calculate and assign a weighting to each day of the week
-
This weighting tracks what percentage of sales occur on each day of the week
-
The screen is split into two sections:
- Store Targets: This section displays all of the monthly store targets that have been set
- Staff Targets: this section displays all of the weekly staff targets that have been set
How to Set Targets for your Store
The Staff Targets are dependent on the Store Targets being set so you must set the Store Targets first
Stage 1: Setting a Store Target
-
Login to Retail 365
-
Press on the Config tile
-
Select the Sales Targets tab
-
Click the
button
-
The screen displayed below will now appear allowing you to make the following selections:
-
Choose Period: This is the month that you want to set targets for. The list will always show three months from today’s date so you can set targets up to three months in advance
-
Set Targets By: Here you have three options on how your targets will be set to choose from:
Entire Store - This option allows you to set a target for the entire store. The store can hit this target by
selling items across all categoriesSales Group Level 1 - This option allows you to set targets for each of your level 1 sales groups
Sales Group Level 2 - This option allows you to set targets for each of your level 2 sales groups
Choose Store - This additional selection will only appear upon choosing to set targets by sales group level 1 or 2. It is simply the store for which you wish to set targets
-
Press the
button
-
The screen displayed below will appear allowing you to set the percentage increase/decrease for the store/ category
-
This screen shows a list of either stores or categories along with the following information:
Sales LY - This is the total value of sales for this period last year
Trading Days LY - This is the total number of trading days for this period last year
Trading Days TY - This is the total number of trading days in the upcoming period
Difference - The difference in trading days between the two periods. This may influence how you set your targets
Target Increase - The % increase (you can also set a decrease by setting this to a negative value) you expect to achieve in the upcoming period)
Sales Target - The actual target value you expect to achieve in the upcoming period
Note: When you enter a % increase the sales target will automatically be worked out and vice-versa
-
In the example displayed above, 2600 was entered into the Sales Target field and the application automatically worked this out to be a 35.19% increase
-
Please Note: You can increase/decrease targets for all stores/categories by the same value at once by entering a value in the field indicated in the below screenshot and clicking the
button
-
Click the
to save the targets
-
You will then be taken to a screen similar to that displayed below which displays the daily targets for your store for the entire month
-
If the store hits the suggested targets indicated in this screen each day, then the originally entered target will be reached for the period selected
-
Now that the Store Target has been set it’s time set targets for our Staff

-
Once you start to enter in the hours for each staff member their targets are automatically populated based on the expected target for the day and how many other staff members are working that day
-
