ERP excellence comes from reliable control loops: collect data, reconcile deviations, alert intelligently, and verify results.
The loop
- Ingest data: POS sales, deposits, inventory usage, labor hours.
- Reconcile: Compare expected vs. actual; quantify drift.
- Alert: Notify the right role with context and a suggested action.
- Act: Create a ticket, post a message, or auto-correct when safe.
- Learn: Capture outcomes to improve thresholds and models.
Signals to watch
- Sales-to-deposit variance by tender.
- Item margin slippage (cost spikes, discount abuse, void patterns).
- Labor vs. sales productivity per daypart.
- Inventory shrink beyond tolerance.
In the Varuni demo
- Webhooks provide timely sales events; a job reconciles end-of-day.
- Rules flag anomalies and route tasks to managers with templates.
- Dashboards track unresolved items and mean time to resolution.
By closing the loop, teams prevent small issues from becoming costly incidents—and the system keeps getting smarter.
