Yesterday's sales at any of 78 stores, without running a report
The point of sale connected to an assistant, so the operations team asks in plain English and gets figures traced to the revenue centres underneath.
Client work is anonymised. One client, a 78-store QSR group in South Africa.
Illustrative. Figures inside the visual are not client figures.
The problem
Store sales sat in the POS system behind reports nobody had time to run. A question as simple as yesterday's takings at one store took a day to answer, which meant most such questions were never asked.
What we built
A connector between the POS reporting layer and an AI assistant, deployed in the client's own Google Cloud project. The operations team asks in plain English. Every answer names the revenue centres it was drawn from, so the figure can be checked rather than trusted.
What changed
Same-day answers on sales, ticket counts and item movement, across all 78 stores, with no new reports to build or maintain.
How it is governed
The assistant reads. It cannot write to the POS, adjust a figure, or send anything. Answers carry their source, and the usage log records who asked what.
What this takes
Six to ten weeks, and it depends more on what the POS will expose than on the assistant.
