Power Insight

Product Introduction

1. The Wenodo Power Insight Dashboard is a specialized analytics platform designed for the hospitality industry, offering real-time integration of operational data from EPOS systems, inventory software, and financial tools. It transforms fragmented data streams into unified visual reports, enabling managers to monitor performance holistically.
2. Its core value lies in bridging the gap between raw data and strategic decision-making, focusing on critical hospitality metrics like Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and labor costs. The platform empowers businesses to identify inefficiencies, optimize resource allocation, and improve profitability through predictive insights.

Main Features

1. Performance Dashboard: Provides real-time tracking of 15+ KPIs including sales trends, Spend Per Head (SPH), gross profits, and staffing costs. Customizable widgets allow users to create tailored views of operational health across multiple locations.
2. Sales Insight Module: Integrates with 20+ EPOS systems across the UK and UAE markets, generating granular reports on sales by session, product mix performance, and discount impact. Automated benchmarking against historical data and budgets helps identify growth opportunities.
3. COGS Optimization System: Connects with inventory management software to track ingredient-level costs, recipe variances, and waste patterns. Dynamic alerts notify managers about price fluctuations or portion control issues affecting margins.

Problems Solved

1. Eliminates manual data aggregation from disparate systems (EPOS, inventory, payroll), reducing reporting time by 70%. Addresses the challenge of delayed insights that plague traditional hospitality operations.
2. Specifically designed for multi-unit restaurant groups, hotel chains, and catering companies managing complex cost structures. Caters to operations managers, financial controllers, and franchise owners.
3. Critical in scenarios like menu engineering (analyzing dish profitability), labor scheduling optimization, and identifying seasonal purchasing patterns. Supports compliance with food cost percentage targets during inflationary periods.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike generic BI tools, offers pre-built hospitality-specific metrics and compliance templates for regional markets. Combines financial data with operational metrics in a single interface.
2. Proprietary "Smart Alert" system uses machine learning to detect anomalies in sales patterns or cost deviations, sending prioritized notifications. Features automated report generation with white-label branding options.
3. Key differentiators include live integration capabilities without API development requirements, multi-currency support for international chains, and drill-down capabilities to individual transaction-level data.
