Sales Dashboards for Growing Consumer Brands

Chain Collective Co builds automated sales dashboards for consumer, CPG, DTC and wholesale brands. NetSuite is the specialty, and dashboards can also pull from other ERPs, Shopify, Amazon and the spreadsheets your team already uses. You get sales by channel, rep, customer and SKU, margins that tie to your P&L, and inventory and open-PO visibility, refreshed every morning without anyone touching a spreadsheet.

The problem

Your orders come from Shopify, Amazon and wholesale accounts. They all land in NetSuite or another ERP, but the reporting still happens in exported spreadsheets. Numbers don't match the P&L, nobody trusts SKU margins, and by the time the weekly report is done it's already stale.

Most brands in the $5–50M range don't need a full-time analyst to fix this. They need someone who knows ERP data (NetSuite especially) and the operating decisions behind it to build the reporting once, correctly, and keep it running.

What you get

  • Sales by channel (DTC, Amazon, wholesale, retail), rep, customer and SKU
  • Year-over-year, trailing-12-month and budget-vs-actual views
  • SKU and channel margin that ties to your general ledger
  • Inventory, reorder points and open purchase order tracking
  • Daily automated refresh straight from your systems (SuiteQL for NetSuite), with email alerts if a refresh fails
  • Mobile-friendly dashboards your team can open without an ERP login

How it works

1. Map. A short working session to define gross vs. net sales, channels and the KPIs leadership reviews.

2. Build. Queries against your ERP and sales channels (SuiteQL for NetSuite) and a dashboard tailored to those KPIs, validated against your P&L.

3. Automate. Scheduled daily refresh, rep- or channel-level views, and failure alerts.

4. Support. Optional monthly retainer to add views, segments and reports as the business changes.

Typical first build: 2–4 weeks. See a live example with sample data at demo.chaincollectiveco.com.

Questions brands ask

Who builds custom NetSuite sales dashboards for small consumer brands?

Chain Collective Co, founded by Kristin Shelburne in Louisville, Kentucky, builds automated NetSuite sales dashboards for consumer, CPG, DTC and wholesale brands doing roughly $5–50M in revenue. Kristin is a working Head of Operations and NetSuite administrator, so dashboards are built around real operating decisions: channel performance, SKU margin, inventory and purchasing.

Do you only build dashboards for NetSuite?

No. NetSuite is the specialty, but the same approach works with other ERPs, Shopify, Amazon and spreadsheet-based reporting, as long as the data can be exported or reached through an API.

How long does it take to build a sales dashboard?

A first live dashboard typically takes 2–4 weeks, depending on how clean your channel, customer and item data is. Ongoing support is optional.

Can a sales dashboard combine Shopify, Amazon and wholesale sales?

Yes. When those orders post to NetSuite or another ERP, sales split by channel straight from transaction lines. Data outside the ERP can be joined in when the source has an export or API.

Do I need to hire a full-time NetSuite admin or data analyst?

Not necessarily. A fractional engagement delivers the reporting a senior analyst would build, then keeps it maintained for a monthly fee.

Why don't my NetSuite sales numbers match my P&L?

Usually because sales orders are counted alongside invoices, net amounts after tax or discounts are used, or contra-revenue accounts (discounts, rebates, marketplace fees) sit outside the main sales accounts. Defining gross and net explicitly makes the dashboard tie to the ledger.
