Bookly's strength is scheduling and Bookly's reporting is intentionally narrow. The calendar tells you when, the customer list tells you who, the payment screen tells you whether money moved, and joining those three for a weekly review is left as an exercise. Bookly Pro ships a few fixed reports but no configurable dashboards, no per-role saved views, and no way to pin the four cards a salon owner actually wants to see every morning.

SleekView Charts joins wp_bookly_appointments, wp_bookly_customers, wp_bookly_services, wp_bookly_staff, and wp_bookly_payments into a single dataset. From there you build chart cards by picking the dimension and the metric: total pending bookings as a Number card, revenue by staff member as a Bar chart, service mix as a Donut, booking volume per day as an Area chart. Filters at the dashboard level cascade to every card.

Inline edits made from the linked table view route through Bookly's hooks, so SMS and email templates still fire, and the dashboard refreshes automatically. The chart layer doesn't replace the calendar; it adds the dashboard half of the same plugin.

A calendar answers the scheduling question and stops there. The questions that drive a service business — which staff earn the most, which services hold their bookings, how the week's pending list breaks down — are dashboard questions, and Bookly's defaults barely answer them. The data is in the database already; the cost is the missing surface.

SleekView Charts adds that surface using the joins Bookly's tables already support, with a card grammar an owner can actually configure. Salons, clinics, and consultants run the calendar for scheduling and the dashboard for everything else, both pointing at the same underlying tables. The dashboard view doesn't replace the calendar, it completes it.
