Reading Reports with Confidence
Reports are designed to be easier to trust at a glance:
- Use the date range first. Most surprises come from looking at the wrong period.
- Compare the hero cards with the detailed tables before making pricing decisions.
- Export the same date range you reviewed on screen so your spreadsheet matches your dashboard.
- If a chart or panel takes a moment to load, wait for the page to finish before changing filters again.

Key Concepts
Gross vs. Net Revenue
- Gross Revenue = Total amount charged
- Net Revenue = Gross minus refunds
Utilization
How much of your available rental time is actually booked:
Utilization = Booked Hours ÷ Available Hours × 100%A 75% utilization means 75% of available time has bookings.
Accounts Receivable (AR)
Amounts owed by customers (balances due, deposit remainders).
RevPAUH
Revenue Per Available Unit Hour—a hospitality-style metric showing revenue efficiency:
RevPAUH = Net Revenue ÷ Total Available Unit Hours---
Tips for Using Reports
Review Weekly
Set aside time each week to review your KPIs. Look for: - Revenue trends - Booking patterns - Utilization changes
Watch Seasonality
Compare current performance to the same period last year to account for seasonal patterns.
Act on Insights
When reports show opportunities (slow days, underperforming units), create pricing rules or promotions to address them.
