Operations directors
A standard process every location actually follows
Cost control above store level is a compliance problem before it's an analysis problem. Margin makes the correct process the fastest one for the store.
- Count templates, order guides and pars defined centrally
- Completion and exception visibility across the portfolio
- A weekly variance list with owners, not a monthly autopsy

Where standardization breaks down
Every store improvises
Local spreadsheets, local item names, local units. Nothing rolls up cleanly and nothing compares.
You find out late
Missed counts and unreceived deliveries surface at close, when the story is already written.
Coaching without evidence
Store visits turn into opinion because there's no item-level record of what went wrong.
02With SmartOPS Margin
