RingUps ships 28 standalone report pages plus a reports hub, and 30 report datasets that export to CSV. They cover sales, deposits, balances owing, appointments, floor stock, the workroom and the people who sell. Open a page, set a date range, and the export calls the same query the screen just ran.
Bridal Web Solutions is not a thin product. It ships about 85 reports across 156 pages and dates to 2006. Depth is not what is missing. A report is only as good as the fields underneath it, and depth you never finish configuring is not capability: Bridal Web itself flags 14 of Cande Bridal Boutique's 22 primary suppliers as never fully set up, and 82 categories hidden.
So the owner opens four reports, disagrees with all four, and rebuilds the number in a spreadsheet. Which deposits are still owed a gown. What went out the door in March. Whether the rack of samples from two seasons ago has earned its space.
RingUps answers those in a hub grouped by the question rather than by the feature name. Each report has its own page, its own date range, and its own CSV, and the export calls the same query the page just ran, so the download cannot disagree with the screen.
Every report page in RingUps, grouped by what an owner is actually trying to find out.

Moving Cande Bridal Boutique off Bridal Web Solutions meant reading its exports against each other. They did not agree. On one order, the sales tax export, the payments export and the line data gave three different answers. The category screen said 655 units in stock while the inventory export said 506.
The receivables number was the worst of it. Reversals had been recorded with both a negative quantity and a negative price, which reads back as a positive charge. 93 lines across 59 orders, worth $141,807.75, were wrong-signed. Roughly 78% of an apparent $384,659.89 receivable was an artefact of the export, not money a bride owed.
We found it, we refused to guess at it, and we told the owner not to collect on it. That is what a balances-owing report is for.
A bridal deposit is not revenue. The bride has paid, the gown has not been ordered, and if she cancels the money is a liability with her name on it. Most retail systems count the payment as a sale on the day the card clears, which is why the year-end figure has to be undone by hand.
RingUps books the deposit to a liability when it is taken and recognises it as revenue at delivery, on an append-only double-entry ledger. The deferred sales report shows deposit activity by month and the balance still held. The revenue snapshot on the reports hub separates what was collected from what has been recognised, which is the split a bookkeeper asks for first.
The caveat, again: this works from the day you start. The import did not replay the ledger, so deferred analytics read zero across imported history. How revenue is booked covers the mechanism in full.
RingUps has 28 standalone report pages plus a reports hub, and 30 report datasets that export to CSV. The hub groups them by the question they answer: what did we sell, what is coming, what is owed, who is performing, what is sitting on the floor, and what is in the workroom. Every page carries its own date range.
Yes. 30 report datasets export to CSV from one endpoint that calls the same query the report page just ran, so a download cannot disagree with the screen you were looking at. Values beginning with an equals sign are neutralised, so a customer name cannot execute as a formula in Excel.
Send a year of sales history and we will open your real reports on the call. You will know exactly which of the twenty-eight earn their place before you pay for any of them.
