Dong Juan Restaurant ventured into franchising field over the past few years to increase its market share. In spite of many competitors, DJ was able to keep the business growing.

Business people knew that being into franchising is not that easy. Most franchisor's main concern would be the operation and financial aspects, specifically, maintaining several branches at the same time.

So how does Ms. Aubrey handle it?

According to Ms. Aubrey, "Launching several branches around town and also getting into franchising wasn't that easy, now that I already have to attend to not just one branch, it is very important to keep my eyes on the operation. To do that I have to provide myself and my staff the tools to keep on going. Then, Alliance WebPOS came in. At first, I was very hesitant to adopt this system as I also have to consider my franchisee's opinion about it. Nevertheless, it did work out well."

Alliance WebPOS is a web-based point of sale system. Alliance WebPOS provides centralized hosting allowing Ms. Aubrey and her DJ team fast and easy access to business information anytime, anywhere. Inventory management becomes especially important for a multi-site franchise owner like Ms. Aubrey of DJ as they need to track, share and transfer merchandise across various franchise locations.

Specifically, how did Alliance WEBPOS help her in managing her business?

To quote Ms. Aubrey of DJ - "Through WebPOS, I can extract sales and inventory reports from all of DJ branches. Likewise, I can perform stock adjustments, manage price list, sales data comparisons; extract product saleability to track sales trend - per product, month/year or per branch. This capability to access the right information at the right time makes me worry less about losing control over my business operations. As these data are stored in the Cloud, I am assured of data availability without worrying about the risk of losing my data. Further, the Cloud keeps my system up 24x7. I can upload/download data with the use of internet anytime, anywhere even if I'm not physically present on other branches or even if I am abroad on business trip."
