The CoffeeRoaster Management Module is an optional
extension of the CoffeeRoaster application. The
Management Module connects to the data file across the
network and provides direct access to current
CoffeeRoaster data, but more importantly provides a
series of Forms and Reports dedicated to providing
greater insight into CoffeeRoaster data.
The CoffeeRoaster Management Module provides additional
summary information and graphing of Coffees by Roasts
providing monthly totals (lbs) by Roast/Blend. In
addition, the management module allows management to
monitor events in CoffeeRoaster during the day
and to configure new Coffees or other CoffeeRoaster data. The Roaster Module also allows calculation of
the dollar amount represented by the shelf inventory.
The CoffeeRoaster Management Module provides
considerable additional data analysis and access to
confidential data totals and information.
Individual Coffee Statistics and Graphs are provided by
the CoffeeRoaster Production Module, the Management
Module adds similar statistical analysis and graphing
for Final Roasts. Final Roasts are the finshed
product that goes into packaging, generally a Roast will
be associated with multiple individual Coffee Items of
different size or packaging options.
In the image above, detailed Sales information is
provided for a Coffee Item covering the last 365 days
and summarized by Week. The purpose of this is to
show sales history trends but also to provide a means
for setting Shelf Goals. Shelf Goals represent how
many of a specific coffee item that you want to have on
hand for anticipated orders.
The Ribbon (top section of the form) provides summary
information for confidential information such as the
estimated dollar value of the Green Coffee Inventory and
the dollar value of the Shelf Coffees.
The CoffeeRoaster Management Module provides many
data analysis tools not included in other Coffee Roaster
Modules including Pivot Tables and Quarterly Crosstab
Queries.
The initial interface for the Management Module includes
several of the Production Host forms, but does not
feature the Import QuickBooks capability hosted only by
the CoffeeRoaster Production Host Module.
A Management Module specific data group for the Ribbon
displays Coffee Sales Year to Date, Coffee Production
Year to Date and monthly and weekly data for the same
categories.
The CoffeeRoaster Production Module provides the ability
for the CoffeeRoaster Administrator to configure Shelf
Goals for individual coffees. The Management
Module adds to this capability considerably by providing
a graph for each Coffee Item showing the daily or weekly
sales history for the previous 365 days by week.
This makes it much easier to understand the Sales
activity of individual coffees so that Shelf Goals can
be set appropriately.
