What bevlens replaces in your stack
Power BI seats
Replaced by: weekly briefing email + shareable mobile links. If you still want Power BI for one-off pivots, we push your data outbound — we just don't ask you to author reports inside bevlens.
Your custom Python pipeline
Replaced by: prebuilt reports that drill to source transactions. Nightly POS pulls, per-store reconciliation, and anomaly detection are ours to maintain, not yours.
Your manual PDF exports
Replaced by: timestamped close packages with per-cell lineage and a QuickBooks-Online reconciliation that ties to the penny. Your bookkeeper's veto is already neutralized.
bevlens is not a BI tool. It's the thing that lets you retire your BI tool — or at least stop paying for seats on it.
This is a clickable prototype built from research/prototype-brief.md. Use the nav on the left to walk through the 9 screens.
We work on top of your POS. No migration.
Connect Lightspeed, KORONA, Square, or mPower. Add QuickBooks Online so month-end reconciles to the penny. You can skip to a sample 4-store chain if you just want to look around.

Power BI
We push your bevlens data to your existing Power BI workspace. We don't ask you to author reports in bevlens — our reports are opinionated and prebuilt.
Pulling your last 12 months of Lightspeed transactions
This takes about 4 minutes. We'll email you when it's done so you can close this tab.

Not pulling: employee records, card data, personally-identifying customer fields.
Your week, in 90 seconds.
This is how bevlens lands in Maria's inbox every Monday at 7:00am. Everything in the body is a real number from the underlying transactions; the narrative sentences are AI-written.

The reorder table is routine. The Events on horizon panel is additive: use it when you want to get ahead of demand that isn't in your trailing-average.
Local-events context: Bud Light 24-pack velocity at Downtown is predicted +15% for the week of the Patriots wild-card home game.
Tito's 750ml, +20%. Reorder recommendations above already bake this in.

Reports.
Opinionated, prebuilt reports. Every number drills to source transactions; every tab exports to PDF or Excel (with per-cell lineage). No AI-estimated figures on any of these surfaces — enforced.
Why this isn't a BI tool
These are the fixed reports that replace your month-end Power BI workflow. Share them with Share link, download a snapshot as PDF, or pull the Excel with per-cell lineage for your bookkeeper or accountant.

Day & time
Default lands at 7am local on Monday. Change if you want it earlier, later, or on a different day.
What goes in it
Uncheck anything you don't want in the body. Reassurance mode keeps the briefing arriving on quiet weeks so you always know bevlens is watching.
Reassurance mode
When on, bevlens still delivers the briefing on quiet weeks, explicitly saying so ("14,200 SKUs watched; nothing crossed an alert threshold"). When off, the briefing is skipped entirely on weeks with no anomalies.
Per-recipient overrides
Store managers can get a reduced-scope briefing (just their store). Bookkeeper can get a monthly version instead of weekly.
