This topic describes best practices for utilizing store groups to manage store inventory and to facilitate data synchronization between the Central database and the store database.
In Central Manager, you must assign stores to store groups to facilitate store setup and management. You should set up store groups according to natural divisions in your retail organization. Some examples of these natural divisions include:
Different types of retail operations. You might create store groups to separate boutique stores from outlet stores, or general stores from specialty stores, or food trucks from brick-and-mortar restaurants.
Different store brands. You might create store groups to separate your high end brand from your discount brand, or your quick stop brand from your full service brand.
Divisional or regional store management. You might create store groups based on the management or sales hierarchies in your organization. For example your organization may have a divisional hierarchy or a regional hierarchy for store management.
It is acceptable to have only one store in a store group. There is also no limit to how many stores you add to a store group.
It can be difficult to change an established store group structure. You should consider your organization's current and future needs when you set up a store group structure. Ensure the store group structure can support growth.
