Real-time financial dashboards with event-specific breakdowns

Purpose

1. Enable automated, real-time financial dashboards with event-specific breakdowns for amphitheaters to give granular visibility on revenue streams (ticketing, concessions, sponsorships, parking, etc.), live cost analysis, margin tracking, vendor settlements, and cashflow trends per event, series, and season.

2. Integrate multi-source financial data (POS, ticketing, vendor systems, bank feeds), correlate transactions to each programmed event/time slot, aggregate in interactive dashboards, and provide alerts on deviations from forecast or thresholds set for profitability, attendance, or expenses.

3. Automate data collection, event categorization, real-time calculations, storage, role-based dashboard deployment, and standard financial exports for accounting.

Trigger Conditions

1. When a new event is scheduled

2. On ticket sale/scan, POS transaction, or vendor statement update

3. End of event or on event status change

4. Scheduled interval (e.g., hourly) for dashboard updates

5. Any data anomaly or threshold breach detected
