Multi-store
Head office control with branch-level stock and billing
One catalog. Separate warehouses, prices, and registers per store.
ElintOm runs a multi-branch network from one database. Head office owns the master catalog, global pricing policy, and user permissions. Each branch keeps its own warehouse, counters, taxes, and prices. Super admins can switch store context. A store manager stays inside one branch.
- Master catalog and permissions
- Branch warehouses and registers
- Request, approve, dispatch, and receive transfers
- Consolidated sales, purchases, stock, and tax
The problem
A chain that shares one stock number cannot tell which branch can sell.
Blended quantities hide the empty store and the full warehouse. ElintOm keeps location stock and still rolls the numbers up for head office.
How a network is set up
Head office
Master catalog, global price policy, user permissions, and one reporting dashboard.
Branch isolation
Store warehouses, branch roles, branch prices and taxes, and that store’s cash registers.
Transfers
A branch requests stock. Approval, dispatch, and receipt are separate steps so transit is visible.
Consolidated view
Sales, purchases, stock valuation, and tax can be read across stores or for one store.
Roles
Super admin sees the network. A regional manager sees the branches they are assigned. A store manager sees one branch.
Reports
Store-to-store sales comparison, consolidated profit and loss, and a matrix of stock by location.
Got Questions?
Multi-Store Operations FAQs
Only if that login is given more than one branch. Store staff are limited to the branch on their user.
Dispatch and receipt are both recorded, so quantity in transit is not treated as already on the destination shelf.
See this workflow on a 15-minute demo
The team follows up after you submit the form, walks through inventory, POS, and your channels, then scopes pricing from that conversation - not a public price list.
