Stop guessing where your money goes. 辉光ERP gives Takealot sellers a single Finance Analytics page that keeps every cent — sales, commission, fulfilment, courier and storage fees — automatically reconciled and turned into clear profit insight.

If you sell on Takealot in South Africa, you already know the hard part isn't making sales — it's knowing what each sale actually earns you after all the platform fees. 辉光ERP's Finance Analytics & Reports brings your account balance, every transaction, your true cost breakdown and downloadable reports together in one place, so you always know your real numbers without opening a spreadsheet.

What this feature does for you

Think of it as the finance desk for your Takealot store — always up to date, always honest about the fees.

Live account balance: See your available balance, held amount and total balance at a glance, so you always know exactly how much cash your store has to work with.
Complete transaction history: Every payout, commission charge, fulfilment fee, courier fee and more is recorded and labelled across 37 transaction types — filter by type and date to find any charge in seconds.
Cost structure breakdown: An interactive chart shows how your total sales split between fees (commission, last-mile delivery, courier collection, stock transfer) and your net sales — plus your average commission rate, average delivery fee and average order value.
Downloadable reports: Generate seven report types — order summary, order line items, account transactions, product sales, product detail snapshot, account-level returns and product-level returns — and download them as CSV for your own records or your accountant.

How it helps you sell more and save time

Reconciliation that used to eat an afternoon now takes minutes — and the insight it gives you pays for itself.

Always current: Your finance data is refreshed automatically on a regular schedule, so when you log in at the start of the month your transactions are already up to date — no manual syncing. Need a deeper look back? One click pulls up to 180 days of history.
Find fee leaks fast: When the cost breakdown shows a commission rate or courier fee that's higher than it should be, you can react immediately — adjust pricing or rethink your logistics before it quietly eats your margin month after month.
Benchmark and decide: Average order value and average commission rate let you compare against the market and your own targets, guiding smarter pricing, product selection and inventory calls.
Work while it works: Larger reports are prepared in the background, so you can keep browsing other pages — you'll be notified the moment a report is ready to download.
See every store at once: Run multiple Takealot stores? Overview mode aggregates transactions, cost structure and reports across all of them, with a store column so you always know which store each line belongs to.

Knowing your true net profit per order — sales minus commission, fulfilment, courier and every other fee — is the difference between a busy store and a profitable one. Finance Analytics puts that number in front of you, automatically.

Real-world ways sellers use it

Monthly reconciliation: At the start of each month, your transactions are already synced. Pick last month's date range, export the account transactions report, and reconcile against your own books in one sitting.
Tracking down a bad month: Profit dipped? Open the cost structure view, spot an unusually high commission rate or courier fee, filter the transaction history by that fee type, and pinpoint the product or orders behind it.
Smarter pricing: A high average commission rate on certain products is a signal to raise the price, bundle, or trim inventory — and a low average order value is a cue to cross-sell.
Returns early-warning: Account-level and product-level returns reports surface categories with stubbornly high return rates, so you can fix the listing, improve the description, or upgrade quality before losses pile up.
Cash-flow planning: Export the last three months of transactions and order summaries to understand your payout and fee cycles — and plan cash reserves and restock spend with confidence.
External deep-dives: Download CSV reports straight into Excel or your BI tool to calculate true pre-tax income, per-category profit and anything else your business needs.
