This article is part of the series “Discovering All Features of the Gokasa Software,” where we dive into each tool that helps you streamline your operations and increase sales.
The “Dashboard” Function: Your Store’s Command Center
The “Dashboard” function in the Gokasa POS system provides a clear, instant snapshot of your store’s performance — including revenue, transactions, and inventory. It’s the main dashboard that allows business owners to quickly and accurately assess how well the business is doing.
Flexible time period selection
One of the biggest advantages of the Dashboard function is the ability to set any time range you want to analyze. You can monitor daily sales, track weekly trends, evaluate monthly results, or compare quarterly and annual performance — all with just a few clicks.
Interactive sales and Transaction graphs
On the right side of the screen, you’ll find interactive charts that display:
- Revenue over time (by hour or by day)
- Number of transactions during the selected period
This helps you easily:
- Identify peak hours with the highest revenue
- Monitor customer behavior throughout the day
Key indicators in the Dashboard
1. Total Revenue
Displays the total value of all sales for the selected time period — perfect for evaluating overall performance or comparing time periods.
2. Number of Transactions by Payment Type
Transactions are broken down by payment method, such as cash, card, bank transfer…
This feature helps you track popular payment options and assess staff workload. In businesses like salons or nail studios, it shows how many customers each employee served.
3. Total Number of Products Sold
Gives you an exact count of sold items — whether that’s units, portions, or services. This simplifies tracking turnover and product popularity.
4. Total Discount Value

5. Canceled Transactions Overview
This section contains detailed information about all voided sales, including:
