Harness the power of KPI reporting and centralized business management

VAST Multi-Store offers timely and accurate central reporting of KPI data across all stores. It enables you to quickly identify shortfalls in sales or profit goals and compare performance between stores. Also, central management of core business functions, such as pricing, discounts, payment terms, and credit limits, gives you greater control over your performance and helps to minimize human error at individual stores.

Instant access to KPI information dramatically reduces the time you need to gather, consolidate and analyze store performance data – giving you more time to dedicate to core enterprise management.
Track employee hours through a time clock and monitor the effectiveness of enterprise-wide campaigns and promotions to measure ROI across the business.
