The Challenge

What they were dealing with

The client operated multiple brands out of 50+ locations with no central analytics layer. Data lived in silos - POS systems, an ERP for procurement and warehousing, and a patchwork of Excel files covering employee shifts, salaries, and stimulations. Location managers and regional managers each maintained their own versions, leading to inconsistent numbers, duplicated effort, and a reporting process that consumed significant time every week. A café bar doesn't sell milk - it sells a flat white that contains milk. Calculating true COGS at the menu item level required manually tracing ingredients through procurement and wastage data, a process that simply couldn't scale across 50+ locations and multiple brands.

The Solution

What we built

Numerix designed and built a full data warehouse on Google Cloud Platform, integrating all data sources - POS, ERP, employee records, shift schedules, salary and stimulation data - into a single governed model.

Built a GCP data warehouse unifying POS, ERP, HR, payroll, and shift data into a single source of truth

Engineered a recipe-to-ingredient mapping to automate COGS calculation per menu item, per location, per brand - what previously took hours became an instant view

Delivered Power BI reports covering sales performance, procurement, COGS and ROI, working hours, and cross-brand comparisons

Set up automated email reports and threshold-based notifications so the right people received the right numbers without logging in

Freed 3 FTEs previously tied to manual reporting, reassigned to higher-value work
