Thirty-four stores reconciled before opening
A specialist retail chain
Three card providers settle in batches on different days, net of fees. The till system exports takings in one format, the bank statement arrives in another, and someone matches them by eye. Differences are written off as timing until the month is closed, at which point nobody can say which store they came from.
What it is designed to do
- Settlement differences surface the next day, per store
- Provider fees post as cost rather than disappearing into net revenue
- Takings, settlement and the ledger reconcile by construction
