What Franchise POS Software is for

Running one shop is a POS problem. Running a franchise network is a trust problem: did the outlet receive what head office dispatched, is the stock on the shelf the stock in the system, and does the cash in the drawer match what was billed?

Highsense Franchise POS answers all three. Orders flow from outlet to head office and back as dispatches that must be received, stock moves in batches with audits to catch drift, and every day closes with a cash reconciliation instead of an assumption.

Built for

Franchise and multi-outlet retail chains
Brands supplying their own outlets
Businesses needing outlet-level stock accountability
Retailers running promotions across locations

Modules

01

Franchise management

Outlets as first-class records with their own users, pricing and performance.

02

Franchise ordering

Outlets raise orders on head office; head office dispatches; the outlet receives against it.

03

Dispatch and receive

Dispatch and receive recorded with line items, so short receipt is caught at the outlet not at audit.

04

Point of sale

Counter billing with products, promotions and payment capture.

05

Returns

POS returns and sale returns handled as tracked documents that correct stock.

06

Batch-wise stock

Stock held in batches with movement history, so expiry and cost are traceable.

07

Stock audits

Physical count against system stock with item-level variance, run per outlet.

08

Purchases

Purchase orders, receives and returns against vendors at head office.

09

Promotions and pricing

Promotions and product price history, so a price change is a record rather than a memory.

10

Cash reconciliation

Daily close comparing billed, collected and counted, with variance recorded and owned.

How the work flows

1
Outlet orders
The franchise raises an order on head office for what it needs.
2
Head office dispatches
The order is picked and dispatched with line items and batches.
3
Outlet receives
The outlet receives against the dispatch, and any shortfall is recorded immediately.
4
Sell at the counter
POS billing with promotions applied, reducing batch stock as it sells.
5
Audit the shelf
Periodic stock audit compares physical count to system, with variance per item.
6
Close the day

Frequently asked questions

Can head office see every outlet is stock?

Yes. Stock is held per outlet in batches, and head office sees levels, movements and audit variance across the network.

What stops an outlet claiming it never received goods?

Dispatch and receive are separate recorded steps with line items. If the outlet receives less than was dispatched, the difference is recorded at that moment, not discovered later.

Does it handle returns properly?

Yes. POS returns and sale returns are tracked documents that correct stock and the day is takings, rather than manual adjustments.

Is cash reconciliation per day or per shift?

Daily by default, and it can be configured per shift where outlets run multiple counters.
