Opening a second or third shop is a milestone — and a management challenge. Each branch has its own stock, staff, sales, and expenses. Visiting every location daily is not scalable. Retill multi-branch management gives you centralized visibility without sacrificing local control.
The multi-branch visibility problem
Without a unified system, branch managers report sales through calls or messages. Stock levels are guesses until someone counts shelves. You discover a underperforming location weeks too late. Transfers between shops happen informally with no audit trail.
Retill replaces fragmented updates with live data: per-branch sales, inventory, expenses, and staff activity on one dashboard.
How Retill handles multiple locations
Shops and warehouses
Create each branch under Shops. Add Warehouses on Pro and Premium plans for central storage before stock reaches shop floors. Your Overview aggregates KPIs across all locations — today's sales, profit, expenses, and inventory alerts.
Branch-level detail pages
Each shop has its own detail page with tabs for Products, Sales, Received stock, Transfers, Expenses, and Settings. Drill into one branch without losing sight of the whole business.
Inter-branch stock transfers
Move products from your central inventory or warehouse to any shop — or between locations — with a documented transfer history. No more "we sent 50 cartons last Tuesday" disputes.
Comparing branch performance
Use Overview and Reports to answer questions like:
- Which shop had the highest sales today?
- Where is stock running low?
- Which branch has the most credit sales outstanding?
- Are expenses eating margin at a specific location?
Shop performance reports export to PDF for monthly reviews with branch managers.
Staff per location
Add users under Users, assign privileges, and select which shop(s) each person accesses. A cashier at Branch A cannot accidentally sell from Branch B's stock. Managers can hold broader access across multiple locations.
Choosing the right Retill plan for multi-branch growth
- Basic (GHS 99/mo) — 1 shop; ideal for single-location retailers starting out.
- Pro (GHS 199/mo) — Up to 3 shops + 1 warehouse; best for growing small chains.
- Premium (GHS 299/mo) — Unlimited shops and warehouses; for established multi-location operators.
All plans include mobile + web access and daily backups. Pro and Premium add unlimited users and sales agents.

Practical tips for scaling retail branches
- Standardize product naming and pricing across all shops.
- Transfer stock on a schedule — not only when a branch runs out.
- Review branch dashboards weekly, not only at month-end.
- Give each manager report access for their location.
- Use the Activities log to audit changes across branches.
Multi-branch retail does not have to mean multi-branch chaos. Retill keeps every location connected to one source of truth.
