You've made one shop work. The instinct is to open a second. The reality is most Nigerian retailers stall at 2 branches because the one shop ran on the owner's head.
Three systems you must standardize before opening branch 2:
System 1 — Daily cash close
Z-report at end of day. Cash counted, drawer reconciled, signed by manager and shift lead. Photographed and sent to owner via WhatsApp by 9pm. Non-negotiable.
In Supreme ERP: end-of-day report is one click; auto-generates the photo-friendly PDF.
System 2 — Stock transfer protocol
Branch A is out of "Glass Set", Branch B has 30. The transfer must move stock in the system at the moment goods leave Branch B — not when they arrive at Branch A. Otherwise customers buy "ghost stock" that's in transit.
In Supreme ERP: 2-tap transfer in the warehouse module; barcode scan on dispatch and receipt.
System 3 — Customer credit policy
If you give credit at one branch, the other branches must see the customer's outstanding before extending more. Otherwise customer A owes N400k across all 3 branches and nobody noticed.
In Supreme ERP: customer credit limit is set once; enforced at every till. Manager override required to exceed.
Bonus — Cross-branch staff visibility
The branch manager at Branch A should not have payroll visibility for Branch B. The owner does. Use Supreme ERP's role hierarchy: employee → dept head → manager → owner. Easy to set up, hard to retrofit.
Open branch 2 only after these three are running like clockwork at branch 1.
