The operational intelligence platform for retail franchise networks
A retail franchise runs on consistency: the same products, pricing and supplier arrangements across every store, governed from head office. SinoraIQ governs what head office needs to control and automates the work in every store, giving franchisor and franchisee the same live view, hour to hour, day to day.
Built for: Single-brand retail franchise networks | Multi-brand retail franchise groups | Franchisors and head office | Franchisees and store operators | Product and specialty retail
For the franchisor (head office)
Consolidated group performance – sales, margin, stock and operating costs across every store in one live view, with built-in benchmarking, so head office always knows which stores are leading, which need attention and what separates the two.
Multi-brand portfolio reporting – for groups running more than one brand or format, every brand reports into one consolidated view while each retains its own suppliers, products and standards.
Supplier governance across every model – approved suppliers and contracted pricing governed centrally where the model requires it, with full support for stores that source some or all of their own suppliers. Where a group mandates a split between approved suppliers and store choice, SinoraIQ enforces the approved side and gives the store freedom on the rest.
Network-wide supplier visibility – real-time visibility of every store's purchases, supplier pricing, contract enforcement where it applies and supplier performance, so head office sees how every store is buying, not just what it sold.
Central purchasing and distribution – where head office buys product centrally and distributes it to stores, or supplies from its own warehouse, that supply runs on the same platform and the same live data as external suppliers.
Accounts payable automation at head office – head office supplier invoices, including central purchasing, freight and overheads, read, matched and coded automatically, so the head office finance team manages exceptions, not data entry.
Supplier price monitoring against agreed rates – every invoice line monitored against contracted and agreed pricing, with any deviation flagged instantly before it is approved, so margins hold across the network without manual checking.
Royalty and franchise fee reconciliation – royalty and franchise fees calculated and reconciled against each store's actual sales, so head office sees what is owed across the network without manual collation.
Network customer and loyalty intelligence – where the group runs a member or loyalty program, customer profiles, purchase history and loyalty behaviour are connected at brand level, so head office sees who the network's best customers are and where retention effort should focus.
For the franchisee (store)
AI-powered accounts payable invoice automation – AI invoice automation across every store and head office, with unified visibility of supplier spend, structured to enable procurement consolidation and cross-network analytics.
Standardised ordering with network-wide visibility – an ecommerce-style ordering interface across every store, placing orders against the supplier catalogues available to that store, whether centrally governed, store chosen or a mix of both.
Order templates – regularly ordered products saved as templates, so store teams order in seconds, not minutes.
Optional store-level approval governance – for company-owned stores, purchasing approval thresholds can be enforced where head office requires it, with a complete audit trail. For privately owned stores, governance is applied where it matters most: which suppliers the store is required to buy from, while the store keeps control of its own ordering.
Real-time inventory across the network – live stock visibility at every store, with theoretical versus actual variance tracking across the entire network, so stockouts and overstocks surface before they cost a sale or tie up cash.
One network, one connected platform
Head office governs what the network's model requires, from full central control to a managed split to store choice, and sees the whole network live. Each store runs its day on the same platform, ordering against the suppliers available to it. Because it is one connected system, every order, invoice and count rolls up into a single live picture, hour to hour, day to day.
