About
In today's multi-chain food retail landscape, manual cash reporting processes are often cumbersome, error-prone, and hinder operational efficiency. Magboard was created to address this challenge head-on. Our objective was to develop a user-centric web platform specifically designed for multi-chain food retailers, like Franprix, Monoprix, Carrefour, and Auchan. This platform would empower store managers with a streamlined system for meticulously reporting daily cash income, eliminate time-consuming manual tasks for accounting personnel, and ultimately establish a centralized hub for accurate and efficient cash management across all stores within a retail chain. By revolutionizing cash reporting and streamlining financial processes, Magboard aims to empower store managers, simplify accounting tasks, and contribute to improved operational efficiency and financial clarity across the multi-chain food retail sector.
