"You really won’t find a better team. And being honest, no software is going to work perfectly; all of them are still adapting to these new demands and challenges, but the features of Local Line most certainly align the best with farmers' markets, small market farms, and food hubs. Highly recommend!"

For an in-depth guide on how to use these reports effectively, read our article on Local Line’s top sales reports for farms.
How can I track my farm's top-selling products?
With Local Line's "Top Sellers" report, you can find out which of your products sell the best and what your customers prefer buying. Knowing this, you can then dig deeper into the reports to see if these best-sellers are also your most profitable items and how you can adjust your planting or production plans to better align with customer demand in the upcoming season.
Can I use analytics data to optimize for crop planning?

How can I increase the average order size for produce sales?

Such tactics enhance customer spending habits and signal the effectiveness of your marketing efforts. Download our guide on how to increase your farm’s average order size.
How can I reduce cart abandonment for my e-commerce store?

What kind of customer insights can I gain from farm customers?

Is it possible to integrate Local Line's reports with other software I use for accounting or marketing?

Can I customize reports to focus on specific aspects of my farm's operations?
Yes, Local Line offers customizable report features, allowing you to focus on the metrics that matter most to your farm. Whether it's sales, inventory, customer insights, or COGS, you can tailor the reports to meet your needs.
What is cost of goods sold (COGS)?
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) refers to the total expenses directly associated with producing the products you sell, which includes the cost of raw materials, packaging, and direct production efforts. Calculating COGS involves adding up all inventory costs at the beginning of the year plus any additional costs incurred during the year, then subtracting the ending inventory value. This calculation helps determine the direct costs tied to product creation, crucial for pricing strategies and financial analysis. Read our full article on how to determine costs of good sold.
