From separate branches to one network, in four phases.
Going live on a chain is different from going live in one shop. We bring your locations in deliberately - importing what you have, checking it, and rolling out in the order that suits your business.
Data ingestion
Existing branch-level records and financial data are imported from the systems you use today - spreadsheets, accounting software or older ERPs.
- Item and price masters
- Opening stock per location
- Customers, suppliers and open balances
- Ledgers and opening trial balance
- Employee records
Network configuration
Your locations are connected into one consolidated view, with the structure, roles and rules that match how your chain actually runs.
- Locations, regions and peer groups
- Transfer routes and lead times
- Roles and approval rules
- Tax registrations per branch
- Price lists and schemes
Validation
Historical data is checked for consistency before go-live, so the first network view you see is one you can trust.
- Stock reconciled to physical counts
- Trial balance matched to current books
- Sample bills and transfers tested end to end
- Forecast back-tested on your history
- Sign-off by your finance lead
Go-live
A phased rollout by region or by location - your choice - with the network growing as each branch joins.
- Pilot branches first
- Counter staff trained on site or remotely
- Parallel run where needed
- Remaining branches in waves
- Hypercare after each wave
Your chain, your order.
By region
Bring one region live at a time. Transfers start within the region and widen as neighbouring regions join.
By location
Start with pilot branches that represent your formats, then move the rest in waves.
All at once
For smaller networks, switch every location over at a single cut-off after a full validation.
About going live.
Do we need to stop trading during the switch?
No. Branches switch over at a cut-off you choose, usually after closing. Opening stock is taken from a count or from the last reconciled figure.
Can some branches stay on the old system for a while?
Yes, during a phased rollout. Branches that have not yet moved can be added to the network view through periodic imports until they go live.
Who does the work on our side?
Usually a project owner from head office, someone from finance for the ledger validation, and a lead from each pilot branch.
What training do staff get?
Role-based sessions for counter staff, branch managers, regional leads and finance, plus short guides inside the product for each task.
Tell us how many locations you run. See your network.
Enter your number of branches, stores or depots. The network rebuilds at that scale with a typical mix of branch health, and the rebalancing a chain your size would usually see.
