Retail Operations
Day-to-day store KPIs that drive sales, basket and conversion.
About this topic
Retail Operations covers the metrics store managers track every shift: conversion, average basket, units per transaction, sales per square foot and footfall productivity. These calculators help you isolate which lever — traffic, conversion or basket — is moving the top line.
Why it matters
Operations are where 80% of in-store profit improvement actually happens. Pricing and assortment are usually set at head office; what the store team controls is execution. Tracking the right operational KPIs is the difference between a store that just opens its doors and one that gets the most out of every customer who walks in.
