The Yield tracker area is the main reporting function for all poured and sold data and allows robust reporting on beer platform performance. Depending on the specific inquiry, the tracker shows poured/sold data by brand or date including, product loss/gain and the % yield calculation. There are many ways to slice and dice the data by clicking in the row or using the various functionality within the filter.

Yellow represents pour data from the flow meters, Blue represents imported sold data from the POS. The setting wheel, located on the top of each view, allows for further customization such as day parts and other filters.
