Something is weird indeed.  Are you sure the titles are correct?

Because, as I read the charts, your bricks have more value than your sets: the
average value (value / qty) of your sets is 0.? / 1 (below 1) while the average
value of your bricks is 49.67 / 45 (greater than 1).

We do not sell sets - only the odd polybag so our bricks, which are in the 100's
of thousands always have much greater value in sales than our sets.

IN other word the 2nd chart shows the % of sales value represented by each product
family. Bricks and plates are 1st and 2bd and so ob,

Our product families are our own internal 1 level up from Bricklink categories
e.g Bricks equals all the sub undeer bricks e.g modified, round etc.

Anybody else produce data like this? I am pretty sure qwertyboy does - right
Niek ?

To make sure I'm reading this right, this is based on "times sold", not "value"?
So if this is based off the sales of a 100 items, 8 of those would be minifigures?
I'd be curious to see how a value pie chart based off of the same sales would
differ from this one. My guess is the minifigure pie slice would be quite bigger.

You are

Now look at the Value % as below:

  It is a far fetched hope but I have worked on multiple ERP systems in many different
roles and most recently an SAP implementation. To be blunt this doesnt come close
to an ERP system, even the DOS based ones had seperate sales and inventory management
databases. A real ERP system like SAP would be nice, looking at you TLG (LEGO
has SAP). Multiple lots per one product, multiple bin locations, cost field for
purchase and one for labor, reporting tools.

If only - we work with Microsoft GP and even their inventory management is leap
years in front of what we have here. Min/Max stock; min max price; ABC analysis,
Product Familes (User defined; Bin no etc., etc

1. Metrics to display sales figures and what parts/sets are your best sellers.
This is a huge one.

2. Shipping zones for Auto-Checkout that ACTUALLY WORK for us here in the states...
Should have been remedied years ago...

3. The ability to combine duplicate lots in your inventory with a click of a
button.

4. The ability to part out sets at X% of the 6mo average. I love Bricstore, but
would rather be able to do it all in BL.

5. A way to put items that have been in your store for a certain amount of time
on sale, and keep increasing the sale until they sell.

IN the main agreed, we would also like to see a simp-le click to ensure all prices
are set to x decimal places.

  Excellent idea !!
I am really often looking at Google Maps, where I copy and paste the address
of a buyer from a received order, to confirm it is exact. I know the region is
always added on the address, but some of them contains symbols, slash... and
my post office only accept letters and numbers, so I am always "translating"
addresses for the shipping form.

Nicolas

We do something similar

  I'd like to see an "active carts" counter, where it tells you how many people
have items in their cart from your store - BrickOwl has this and it's a pretty
good feature imo

Interesting - that one has not been brought up before.

If orders are payed via Paypal onsite or another onsite payment methode (with
or without taxation) make sure the address from the buyer used in the order matches
the address used with PayPal.

Also start using some kind of standard for addressing. I know there is nothing
official, but for example ISO 19160 for every address in BrickLink/Paypal could
help avoiding mistakes or confusions.

Lots of people have suggested that one. Agreed.

Basic abbilities to syncronize adresses with shipping services. I mean I'm
used to copy the adresses by hand but it would be nice if some automation was
possible.
I think other sites have at least something like this already.

Ok - I agree with that - the current address validation between BL and Paypal
for onsite is not working properly unless you change the address on the order
to match a Paypal address.
