Retailers: What Data Currently Not Available Could You Use?

Hey Everyone!

Companies are increasingly utilizing more detailed data to make strategic decisions.

What data currently not available through Square would be beneficial to your operations?

Drop a comment down below.

(Ultimately this question is to assess what retailers need and which of them are accessible through Claude + Square API).

I know @JTPets has his list to share.

I would like a report that would generate "non moving" items. these items that are probably orphans or have bad information for them to cleanup our item database. I know they exist but I would like confirmation that they have never sold out of the store.

I have indeed something to generates data that shows velocity, missing seo, missing images, missing upcs etc etc, but its mostly on the roadmap for velocity specific dead items - there is a square report existing that does track dead sock: https://app.squareup.com/dashboard/sales/inventory-reports/aging

This whole app is still in pre beta and is still a work in progress, but this is my audit tool running on sqtools.ca for Square catalog data discrepancies: *still needs some refinement, and not all data is valided as accurate yet, and could be pulling nothing when it should, or showing a false positive, but it is pretty darn close to done and functionality useable
