## The problem: one file per branch

When each branch runs its own program or file, numbers reach management late and in different formats, nobody knows one branch has surplus of an item another lacks, and manipulation is hard to spot.

## Principles of central control

- One database, unified items
- Centrally approved prices and discounts
- Permissions stopping branches editing others’ data
- Transfers with dispatch and receipt documents
- A daily consolidated report: sales, cash, critical stock
- Offline branch operation with auto-sync

## Frequently asked questions

### Can each branch have its own prices?

Yes, if you want, while the decision stays with head office.
