  • Reduced stock variance

  • Inconsistent branch customer experience
  • Poor internal controls
  • Weak sales intelligence and poor product mix management
  • Limited performance measurement systems
  • Staff dissatisfaction and morale concerns
  • Operational strain from rapid growth

  • Low-margin wholesalers consumed attention
  • No clear drive to multiply profitable branches
  • Sales reported in value, not cartons/units
