Connect POS, inventory, purchasing, and store communication so AI can track performance, protect margins, prepare replenishment, and carry headquarters decisions through every location.
What Markhub does
- Reads POS sales data and surfaces the trend per store.
- Flags anomalies — a store, an item, a daypart that moved out of pattern.
- Predicts shortages by SKU and by raw material.
- Drafts the next order quantity and the purchase order itself.
- Turns an HQ announcement into per-store tasks with owners and dates.
- Answers repeat operating questions from the linked operations manual.
- Keeps the execution history for every location.
Operating manuals and announcements live in notes linked to an AI agent. When store staff ask about a standard, the agent answers from those documents.
How it runs
- Connect POS, inventory and purchasing data.
- AI analyses sales, stock and margin anomalies store by store.
- It prepares the next order quantity and a purchase-order draft.
- HQ operating instructions become per-store tasks.
- Stores post photos and outcomes into the same thread.
- HQ sees execution across every location in Flow.
How the workspace is laid out
One hub per head-office function, one per store. Head-office discussion and store execution live in the same workspace without running into each other.
A POS agent on every store hub
An agent only sees the hub it sits on. The agent on store 1 answers with store 1’s numbers, and head office collects every store’s result in one place. When a store opens, add a hub and attach the same agent.
How the work runs
Launching a new item
HQ shares the timing and instructions. Each store gets display, training and stock checks assigned, and completion is visible.
Stock and sales
Upload a store’s POS data or stock levels and the agent analyses the trend. Items running low or selling faster are surfaced, and the follow-up carries on from there.
Reporting a store issue
A store shares a broken fixture or a complaint with a photo. HQ comments on the photo directly and turns the required action into a to-do in the same conversation.
Checking a standard
When store staff ask, the agent answers from existing announcements and documents; HQ fills in the gaps in the same conversation.
Monthly review
Flow shows issues and completed work per store; the mark map surfaces the recurring problems.
Execution, not just numbers
Knowing what to do is half of it. The other half is confirming it happened — which is where most franchise systems stop.
- An HQ announcement becomes a to-do per store, with an owner and a due date.
- Stores reply with photos and results in the same place the instruction came from.
- HQ approves or sends it back without leaving the thread.
- Everything lands in Flow, so a quarter of execution is one record, not a mailbox.
What it changes for the business
- Sales rise where demand is specific to a store and a time.
- Margins hold as waste, overstock and stockouts come down.
- Less time goes into preparing and consolidating purchase orders.
- Operations run the same way in every location.
- Repeat questions from stores drop.
- Headquarters can see execution as it happens.
Getting started
- Start with a to-do template for your most frequent announcement.
- Link the operating manual to an agent and repeat questions drop away.
- Upload a single month of stock or sales data and let the agent analyse it.
- Splitting hubs by region keeps Flow totals clean later.
Keep the standard head office set from arriving differently at every store.
