Comma5 Live on an office TV: turnover and profit against last year, website visitors today and an AI-written update

What it does

Free for now

Comma5 Live brings the numbers from the tools you already use into one place, so you can see how the business is going at a glance. Every figure sits next to the same point last week or last year, so you know straight away whether you are ahead or behind. An AI writes short updates from your real figures, so nobody has to read charts to know what is happening. It is free while we build it with our first users, and made by Comma5 in Australia.

  • One place for your numbers: Google Analytics, your WooCommerce shop, Xero and Comma5 CRM, side by side.
  • Real comparisons: today against the same day last week, this month and financial year against last year.
  • On your phone, laptop or the office TV. It fits any screen.
  • Plain-English updates written by AI from your real figures, such as "Quote requests are up 45% on last October".
  • Read-only: it never changes anything in your other systems.
  • Free for now. Sign in with Google and connect what you use in a few minutes.

Why keep your numbers in view

Most businesses already have the data. What they lack is the habit of looking at it. Comma5 Live puts the numbers in front of people all day, on the wall or in their pocket, without anyone having to ask.

  • You find out while there is still time to act. A monthly report tells you what went wrong last month. A live board tells you now.
  • Everyone sees the same numbers, so there is one version of the truth across sales, the office and the shop floor.
  • It replaces the daily "how are we going?". When the answers are in view, nobody has to stop work to compile a summary.
  • Context beats raw numbers. Each figure sits next to the same point last year, so you can tell at a glance whether you are ahead or behind.
  • It works for people who hate dashboards. There is nothing to learn, so the people on the floor and on the phones actually look at it.

What it shows

Connect only what you use. Comma5 Live shows the figures for the services you connect.

  • Scorecard: today, this week, this month and this financial year, each against the previous period, with a 90-day trend line on each card.
  • Website (Google Analytics 4): visitors, new and returning visitors, engagement, time on site, visits from Google search, top pages, traffic channels, a live count of people on your site now, and quote requests from your Contact Form 7 form.
  • Online shop (WooCommerce): orders, sales and top products, in store and online. Sales match WooCommerce Analytics net sales.
  • Finance (Xero): turnover and profit against last year, cash in the bank, money owed with the names of overdue customers, and next month's repeating invoices. Profit on a cash or accrual basis.
  • CRM (Comma5 CRM): the order book and its trend, jobs waiting, quote conversion, leads and where orders come from.

Made for WordPress and WooCommerce websites

If your website runs on WordPress, Comma5 Live and our free Comma5 Inquiries plugin work well together.

  • Comma5 Inquiries saves every Contact Form 7 inquiry in your own WordPress, so a lead is never lost to a failed email.
  • Comma5 Live counts those quote requests next to your visitors and sales, so you can see which visits turn into work.
  • Connect your WooCommerce shop with a read-only key in a couple of minutes.

AI insights

Short updates in plain English, for example: "Website quote requests are up 18% on the same month last year." The AI uses only your real figures.

  • Classic layout: the updates scroll along the bottom of the board.
  • Story layout: one update at a time, each with the chart that explains it.
  • Tell it what your business does, your busy seasons and your targets, and what to focus on or leave out.

On the office TV

Set it up once and it runs by itself.

  • Runs in a web browser, so a smart TV, a small media box or a spare PC will do.
  • Large text you can read from across the room. If everything does not fit on one screen, it flips between pages.
  • A private display link shows the board on the TV without anyone signing in. It cannot change settings, and you can replace or turn it off at any time.
  • The top bar can show your logo, the time, who is on your website right now and the weather for your area.
