Command Center & Ford

Your Command Center

The cockpit home you start every day on, live numbers, your monthly objective, what needs attention, and Ford in the middle, ready to talk.

4 min read

The Command Center is your home, the first thing you see when you sign in, and the best place to start every day. It's a calm, at-a-glance cockpit: the numbers that matter, your goal for the month, anything that needs your attention, and Ford in the middle, ready to talk.

It's deliberately lighter than the full Dashboard(one entry below it in the sidebar). The Command Center is for the 30-second “how are we doing?” check; the Dashboard is where you dig into every chart and table.

What's on it

  • Live headline numbers, revenue, profit, and ROAS, kept current automatically.
  • Your primary objective, a progress bar toward this month's revenue goal.
  • Needs Attention, Ford's alerts, collapsed to a single line so they never take over the screen.
  • Cortex status, which of your integrations (Shopify, ad platforms, email…) are connected and syncing.
  • Ford, the glowing brain at the center. Tap it to talk.

Talking to Ford here

Tap the brain and ask Ford anything out loud, “how did yesterday go?”, “where am I losing money?”, “what should I look at today?” He answers aloud, and the figures he pulls appear on screen as he speaks. Those numbers are your real, reconciled data, the same numbers as the rest of the app, never a guess. See Talking to Ford.

If you run multiple stores

A store picker appears in the header. Pick a store and the whole cockpit, and Ford, focuses on it. A single-store view always shows in that store's own currency, with no conversion, so it matches Shopify exactly.

Your first time here

On a brand-new account, once your Shopify data is in, Ford greets you once and reads your business back to you, your key numbers plus the single biggest opportunity he spots. It's the fastest way to feel the platform actually understands your store. From there, a short tour shows you around.
