Managing Multiple Branches

Going from one branch to two is harder than going from two to ten. The first expansion forces you to build systems; after that, you scale them.

The five things that break first

**Stock visibility.** You don't know what's available at the other branch.

**Pricing consistency.** Discount in one branch, not the other; customers notice.

**Cash control.** Daily cash reconciliation across locations.

**GST aggregation.** Returns must consolidate across branches under one GSTIN.

**Staff accountability.** Who sold what, when, at which branch.

The systems to put in place

Centralised catalog. One product master, one price list, branch-level overrides only when needed.

Inter-branch transfers. Documented stock movement with approval and acknowledgment.

Role-based access. Branch manager sees their branch; owner sees everything.

Daily consolidated dashboard. Sales, cash, stock, GST — every branch, every day.

Weekly business review. Same numbers, every Monday, with branch managers.

Multi-branch is core to the platform. Real-time stock across locations, inter-branch transfers in two taps, role-based access, and consolidated dashboards that show the whole business at a glance.
