Multi-site retail, franchises and chain operators run the same playbook in dozens of locations. PurchaseFlow makes that playbook the operating model — without losing site-level agility.
Procurement at scale fails not because of one big problem, but because of a hundred small inconsistencies that compound into invisible cost.
Site managers buy from convenient local suppliers because the official catalogue is too slow. Margin leaks one £30 invoice at a time.
Same product, different SKU, different supplier, different invoice format. 'Which store is best?' takes a week of work to answer.
Annual budgets exist in a spreadsheet. Nobody knows in real time whether a store is over or under — until quarterly review.
Franchisees order independently. Corporate sees a national picture that doesn't quite match the local reality. Negotiation leverage goes missing.
Approved products, prices and suppliers shared across every site. Off-list buys require a reason — and they're tracked.
Each site has live budgets by category. Orders that would breach get held — not discovered three weeks later.
Same product, same supplier, same code — across every store. Like-for-like spend, supplier performance and margin all roll up.
Corporate sees national. Each franchisee sees their stores. Negotiating leverage builds because the data finally adds up.
Thousands of invoices a month? Five AI checks per invoice. The team only sees the few percent that need a human.
Real cost-of-goods updated as deliveries are received — so finance can answer margin questions in the moment.
Send us a month of supplier invoices from two or three of your sites. We'll show you the cost differences you didn't know were there.
