Insights from your own records
Business insights computed from your own ledger
Open sales, purchases, stock or VAT and the numbers are already worked out, from what is selling to where your VAT stands. Nothing needs setting up: every figure comes from documents you have already approved.
In short
How can I see sales, stock and VAT figures without running reports?
Open the insights tab. Kuver Books opens every report area on computed analytics: 4 insight hubs, 16 KPIs, 16 charts, covering sales, purchases, inventory and VAT. There is nothing to set up, the figures update as you approve documents, and every card sits on top of a named report, so any number can be opened, filtered and checked.

Computed analytics you can audit
Business insights reads the documents you have approved and keeps a fixed set of summary cards and charts up to date. It is plain arithmetic on your own records, so you can open the report under any figure and check it.
- The same cards every time Each hub has a fixed set, so once you learn the screen you read it at a glance.
- Updated as you trade Approve a purchase bill and the purchase numbers change with it.
- Three time periods The last seven days, this fiscal year, or the last five fiscal years.
- Every figure has a report under it The named report it was calculated from sits one tap below.

Cost spike alerts catch a supplier who raised a price
Kuver Books compares what you pay for each item now with what you paid in earlier months, and flags the items whose price has gone up. It checks your whole catalogue, so nobody has to go looking. Take that chart with you the next time you talk prices with the supplier.
- Across your whole catalogue It checks every item you stock. You do not keep a list of items to watch.
- Against your own history Today's price for each item is compared with what you paid in earlier months.
- Beside the return rates Debit note rate and goods received rate show what you send back and what actually arrives.
- Stock close to expiry The inventory hub shows stock nearing its expiry date, grouped by how soon it expires.

What do the insight hubs show?
4 insight hubs, 16 KPIs, 16 charts. Each report hub in Kuver Books opens on its insights tab, and you can view the last seven days, this fiscal year or the last five fiscal years. The figures are worked out from the documents you approved and drawn as charts. There is nothing to set up or connect, because the numbers come from the bills and stock records you already keep.
Sales
Cards: total sales, net sales, return rate and average revenue per customer. Charts: sales against returns over time, your top customers by sales value, the monthly sales trend for each product (item velocity), and a breakdown of what is being returned. The item velocity chart shows which products are moving month by month, so you know what to buy more of and what to stop buying. A month that looks strong on gross sales cannot hide a lot of returns, because the return rate sits beside it.
Purchase
Cards: total purchases, net purchase cost, debit note rate and goods received rate. Charts: purchases against debit notes, top suppliers by purchase value, monthly purchase trend by item, and cost spike alerts. The cost spike chart compares what you pay for each item now with what you paid in earlier months, across the whole catalogue. Take it with you when you next talk prices with a supplier.
Inventory
Cards: total inventory value, total products, low-stock items and expired inventory value. Charts: inventory age distribution (how long stock has sat), the product profitability matrix, stock by warehouse, and inventory near expiry, grouped by how soon it expires. Seeing expiry coming gives you time to discount a batch and sell it before you have to write it off.
VAT
Cards: sales output tax, purchase input tax, net tax liability and net return deductions. Charts: monthly tax ledger trend, adjustments arising from credit and debit notes, taxable against non-taxable transactions, and the Annex 13 top transactions matrix. Net tax liability tells you whether the period is payable or refundable while there is still time to act on it.
Can you trust the figures on the hubs?
Yes, because every card and chart sits on top of a named report, with the same permissions, filters and export. If a number surprises you, open the report under it and look at the transactions. When you would rather ask a question in plain words, Kuver Assistant is the chat assistant in Kuver Books and answers from the same records. The hub and the report stay the place to check the figure.
What don’t the insight hubs do?
- No questions typed into the hubs themselves. Plain-language questions go to Kuver Assistant.
- No dashboard builder, no custom charts and no chosen metrics. The hubs are fixed.
- No forecasting, no targets and no alerts pushed to your phone from the charts.
- No cross-branch consolidation inside a hub. Filter per location instead.
- No chart export as an image. You export the report the chart was computed from.
- No statutory statements. The hubs cover trading and tax figures only.
- No written explanation of why a figure moved. The hub shows the movement, and the named report below it shows the transactions behind it.
- No scheduled digest of the hubs sent to your inbox or your phone. You open them when you want to know.
Who are business insights for?
A good fit
Owners without an analyst who still want to know how the business is doing. Wholesalers and distributors who need to spot a supplier’s price rise before it cuts into a year of margin, pharmacies watching expiry value, retailers checking which products actually carry the margin, and anyone whose VAT position is a surprise at filing time instead of a number they watched all month.
Less of a fit
It is a weaker fit if you want bespoke dashboards designed around your own metrics. Open a 14-day free trial, no card required, trade on it for a fortnight, and read the hubs back.
