A network does not suffer from a lack of figures, but from figures that do not compare. Each outlet counts its own way, and Monday morning's consolidation arrives too late to be of use.
What the application changes
Stock per site, one overall view
Each store sees its own and can check the others. A missing item is found within the network before being ordered from the supplier.
Transfers are traced at both ends
Departure, receipt, discrepancies found. A transfer never received does not vanish from the sending store's accounts.
Rolling inventories instead of closures
Counts by zone or family, spread over time, with evidence before approval. Closing a store for a day for an annual count costs more than the discrepancies it reveals.
Comparable figures
Revenue, average basket, shrinkage, margin, computed the same way everywhere. Comparing two outlets no longer means reworking two spreadsheets.
What we do not do
We do not replace your existing tills and we do not impose hardware. We connect to what is there, starting with a single pilot store if you prefer.
Opening one more store should break nothing
That is the test that matters. A new outlet is created in the application, inherits the network's products, prices and permissions, and sells the same day. There is no database to duplicate, no file to copy, no configuration to redo identically - which is precisely what, in per-store setups, ends up producing discrepancies nobody can explain.
Transfers between stores
A transfer is an issue AND a receipt, separated in time. Until the receiving store has booked it in, the goods are in transit and belong to nobody - that intermediate status is almost always missing, and that is where boxes disappear. Receipt is scanned, and any gap is recorded at that moment.
Comparing what is comparable
Revenue by store, but also per square metre, per salesperson and per opening hour. An outlet half the size taking half the revenue is not underperforming: it has to be said with figures, otherwise the meeting is settled on gut feel.
What the store manager sees
Their store, in full. The others only where they need to see something - a pending transfer, for instance. Head office sees everything. This partitioning avoids corridor comparisons and, above all, changes made in the wrong store.
