Once Black Friday is behind you, all orders are processed, and your stores and websites have calmed down, it’s time to analyze what worked and what didn’t. Post-sale analytics provide a wealth of data for making strategic decisions for the future. With Odoo, you can gather insights from all sales channels, measure promotion effectiveness, and forecast demand to make the next Black Friday even more successful.
What to Analyze After the Sale?
After the frenzy of Black Friday orders, it’s crucial to focus on the numbers that will help improve your next sale. Key areas to examine:
- Product Sales. Which items sold out immediately, and which remained in stock?
- Sales Channels. Where did your business perform best—online, in-store, or marketplaces?
- Promotions and Discount Codes. Which campaigns drove real sales, and where is there room for improvement?
- Inventory. Where were shortages or excess stock?
- Customer Behavior. Repeat purchases, abandoned carts, new versus returning customers.
Odoo centralizes all this data, turning what could be chaotic information into a clear picture of your business. This makes it easier to draw insights, adjust strategy, and create a well-informed action plan for next year.

Identifying Trends and Strategic Insights
Once your data is collected, it’s time to spot trends and make strategic decisions:
- Peak Sales Hours. Identify when customers are most active online and in-store to plan staffing and marketing activities for next year.
- Popular Products and Categories. Understand which items were hits and which underperformed to adjust inventory and assortment.
- Promotion Effectiveness. Determine which campaigns worked best and which need improvement.
- Bottlenecks. Identify issues in logistics, order processing, or marketing that require fixes before the next peak period.
Odoo dashboards and reports allow you to track these metrics in real time, compare results, and gain a clear, actionable view of your business processes.
