What's new? Comparing your current and past data

What's new?

You can transform your operational decisions into quantifiable outcomes through effective side-by-side data analysis with Cropster Cafe. 

Comparing your current and past data

By following the steps below, you can easily compare your current and past data on the Cafe Inventory overview page:

  1. Log in to the online platform C-sar.
  2. Navigate to Cafe on the main menu bar and select Inventory.
  3. On the Inventory Insights overview page, begin by selecting your desired date range and location(s).
  4. Activate the 'Compare to past data' toggle button by switching it to green.
  5. Click the Apply filters button. 

 

Please note the following key considerations for accurate comparisons:

  • The duration of the current date range must match the duration of the past date range.
  • The selected range must not be longer than 31 days compared to past data.
 

 

The data will be displayed clearly and systematically, making it simple to interpret and analyze.

  • The current insights will be displayed on the left side of the page, presented in vibrant colors for easy identification.
  • The past insights will be displayed on the right side of the page, presented in a muted color to indicate that they are historical data.
  • For a more straightforward comparison, the current and past insights will be presented side by side on the screen:
  • The location chart will only be displayed when multiple locations are selected.
  • You can access the daily average data by activating the 'Show daily averages' toggle button in the Total shot consumption throughout the week and Assessment overview sections. 

Congratulations! You are now ready to compare your current and past data on the Cafe Inventory overview page. 

Your opinion matters. If you have further questions, feedback, or concerns, please submit a support ticket directly from support.cropster.com.
