Problem Statement:

As an OpenCart store owner, it can be challenging to track and analyze customer sales performance over time. Without an efficient system in place, it becomes difficult to assess yearly sales trends, measure the effectiveness of sales strategies, and identify key areas for improvement. Store owners may struggle to understand customer behavior patterns, including how much they are spending or how often they are placing orders, making it harder to make informed business decisions.

This lack of visibility into yearly customer sales metrics can hinder efforts to improve customer retention, sales forecasting, and overall business growth. Additionally, the absence of easily accessible visual reports and summaries means that store owners spend valuable time manually compiling data, which can lead to errors and inefficiencies.
