Running a store is demanding. Between managing inventory, serving customers, and handling day-to-day operations, finding the time to dig into your business data for critical insights can feel like a luxury you can't afford. Your data holds the key to smarter decisions, but it's often locked away behind menus and complex reports.
Today, we're changing that.
We are thrilled to introduce Ficos AI, a revolutionary new feature integrated directly into your Ficos dashboard. Think of it as a conversational data analyst and a Ficos expert, available 24/7, ready to answer your most pressing business questions in seconds.
So, What is Ficos AI?
At its heart, Ficos AI is a powerful assistant that understands you. Instead of clicking through multiple screens to build a report, you can now simply ask questions in plain, natural language—just like you would talk to a colleague.
Want to know your best-selling product? Just ask. Need to find out which customers owe you money? Just ask. Curious about how to perform a specific task in Ficos? Just ask.
Ficos AI bridges the gap between your data and your decisions, making your business intelligence instantly accessible.
What Can Ficos AI Do For Your Store?
Ficos AI is designed to be your go-to resource for a wide range of tasks, turning complex queries into simple, actionable reports. Here are just a few of the things you can do right now:
1. Instant Sales Analysis
Dive deep into your sales performance without ever opening a spreadsheet. Understand trends, pinpoint opportunities, and get a clear picture of your revenue streams.

"What was my total revenue yesterday?"

"Which products are running low on stock?"

4. Your Built-in Operations Manual
Ficos AI isn't just for data analysis. It's also trained on how Ficos works, acting as your instant help desk to streamline your operations and train your staff.
-
Ask things like:

"How do I process a customer return?"
-
"What are the steps to add a new employee to the system?"

The Power of Permissions: Ficos AI is fully integrated with your staff permission settings. An 'Inventory Manager' will only be able to ask about stock, and a 'Cashier' will only get answers related to sales orders they are permitted to see. You have full control over who can access what data.
