What is the Sales module?
It is the financial snapshot of your commercial side: how much came in, where from, who sold it and how it compares against previous months. It is one of the first screens you open in the morning if your role is commercial or if you run the business.
What you will see when you open it
- Top: 3-4 large cards with the period's key numbers (total sold, change vs previous period, average ticket, number of sales).
- Center: a bar or line chart with the daily/weekly/monthly evolution.
- Right: salesperson ranking and top products.
- Bottom: a detailed table with each sale of the period (filterable and exportable).
Filters and periods
In the top right you have the period selector: Today, This week, This month, This year, or Custom (you pick two dates).
Next to it are the filters by salesperson, by product/service, by client or by commercial category.
A real case
Every Monday at 9:00 you open the Sales dashboard as a ritual.
- Period: 'Last week'.
- Total: ₡4,250,000, +12% versus the previous week. It went up.
- Salesperson ranking: Diego dropped 30%. A yellow flag.
- You click on Diego: the detail shows he had only 3 closes, all small.
- You talk with him in chat to understand what happened.
You spotted a problem without waiting for the end of the month. In 5 minutes.
Export to Excel or PDF
The detailed sales table (at the bottom) has an Export button. Choose Excel if you want to keep working the numbers, or PDF if it is to send to your accountant or board.

Tips
- Set monthly goals with your team. The dashboard shows you progress against the goal.
- Compare against the same month of the previous year, not just against last month — seasonality matters.
- If a week was down, look at the dashboard before drawing conclusions. It could be a holiday, not a problem.
- Export to Excel at the end of the month and archive that report. It is useful for audits.
If something does not work
If something fails
The numbers do not match my Excel.
Check: the CRM proposals must be in the 'Closed won' stage with the correct amount; the invoices must be marked as collected (not just issued).
A salesperson is missing from the ranking.
They probably have no sales attributed in the period. Proposals are attributed to the proposal's 'owner' in CRM.
