Read the charts on Overview
- Every business opens on Overview. Owners and accountants see, below the day's numbers: Total receivables and Total payables (current and overdue), sales for today, this month and last month with the change in %, and what was spent this month.

- Click any figure to open the bills behind it; Open Analytics gives any period in more detail. Cashiers and staff without the Reports permission don't see the money charts.
Ask Ledgo a question
- Open ✨ Ask Ledgo (owners and accountants; an advanced add-on, not part of the plans — shown once Ledgo switches it on for your business) and type a question in any language — e.g. How were my sales this month compared with last month?, Who owes me money?, What should I reorder?
