One weekly report. Four pillars that protect margin.
Drift sends the owner one clear Monday morning summary. Managers get live alerts when prices shift. Accountants get clean exports at month-end. Stocktake stays practical. No full back-office needed.
How it fits together
Alerts feed the report. The report drives action. Exports close the loop. Stocktake tightens control.
Live manager alerts
GM sees price moves on WhatsApp the same day.
Weekly owner report
One Monday email: spend, moves, and what to ask.
Accountant export
Clean PDF, CSV, and Xero-ready files at month-end.
Smart stocktake
Top 50 margin lines counted in 20 minutes.
Pillar 01
Live manager alerts
When a supplier delivery hits and a key line jumps outside tolerance, the GM sees it that day — on WhatsApp, not in a report six weeks later. Time to query the rep before the next order goes out.
Instant alert — price move outside tolerance, with old vs new
Clear context — supplier, item, unit, and date of change
Built for the floor — not for sitting in front of a dashboard

The Monday owner report.
One email at 07:00 every Monday. Total spend, biggest supplier, price moves that matter, missing dockets, and the single line worth a phone call this week. Built so an owner reads it over coffee, not at a desk with a spreadsheet.

Pillar 03
Accountant export
At month-end, one clean folder: PDF for the owner, CSV for analysis, Xero-ready file for upload. The accountant stops chasing dockets and starts reconciling.
PDF month-end pack — summary, variance, supplier breakdown
CSV by GL or category — ready for pivot tables
Xero-ready import — dates, suppliers, VAT, reconcile
Pillar 04
Smart stocktake
Full stocktakes are too heavy for weekly use, so they get skipped. Drift counts the top 50 lines that move margin — bar spirits, proteins, key dry goods — in under 20 minutes on a phone. Variance flagged against expected usage.
Auto-built templates — from highest-spend lines
Mobile count flow — walk the bar, tap quantities
Variance vs expected — compare stock to predicted use
