One Dashboard for Sales, Stock, and Profit Across Every Branch
How Nepali multi-branch shops can read sales, stock, and margin from one dashboard without hiding which location actually made the number.
A second shop feels under control until you cannot tell whether the empty shelf is in the new branch or in the godown. One login should show both, without mixing their cash.
Sajilo IMS multi-branch and warehouse records are that view, if every sale and every receipt names a location. A dashboard on top of unassigned bills is a single imagined shop.
Name the location on every movement
Sales, goods receipts, transfers, and adjustments each belong to a branch or warehouse. Transfers move quantity between them. They are not sales, and they should not show up as profit.
Staff at a branch should sell from their branch. An owner can look across all of them. Roles should match that, so a cashier does not “fix” another shop’s stock.
Three comparisons that are worth opening
Sales by branch for the same day, so a quiet shop is visible while you can still ask why. Stock by branch for the fast movers, so you transfer before you buy more. Margin only where cost exists, so a branch is not punished for a missing purchase price.
Credit sales sit in the branch that made them. Collecting them at the head office does not move the sale. It settles the balance.
Do not manage by the average
A strong branch can hide a weak one inside a company total. Read the total after you have read the parts. The same applies to stock: plenty in Kathmandu does not serve a branch in another town unless a transfer is on the way.
Once a week, look at both. Once a month, export the same pack per branch. The dashboard is the daily habit. The export is what you keep.
Frequently asked questions
- Should each branch have its own product list?
- Usually no. One product list, with quantities per location, keeps names and prices aligned. Separate lists drift the first week.
- How do we see profit if costs are missing?
- You do not. You see sales. Enter costs on goods receipt, then the branch comparison becomes a margin comparison instead of a guess.
