The verdict in three sentences
A multi-branch management app that consolidates several sites is budgeted in Berlin between 12,000,000 and 30,000,000 FCFA in 2026. The two critical stakes are offline mode, essential against network outages, and group reporting consolidated in near real time. Plan for 4 to 8 months and maintenance of 250,000 to 600,000 FCFA/month.
Budget by consolidation level
Price depends on the number of branches, role granularity and offline needs. 2026 ranges (estimate).
| Scope | 2026 range (FCFA) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-branch core + roles | 12,000,000 - 18,000,000 | 4-5 months |
| + consolidated group reporting | 18,000,000 - 24,000,000 | 5-6 months |
| + offline mode and sync | 24,000,000 - 30,000,000 | 6-8 months |
| Per-branch data migration | 1,500,000 - 4,000,000 | included |
| Multi-site training | 800,000 - 2,000,000 | included |
Recurring costs stay controlled but essential to keep sync reliable across branches.
| Recurring item | 2026 cost (FCFA/month) |
|---|---|
| Maintenance + supervision | 250,000 - 600,000 |
| Hosting + sync | 50,000 - 150,000 |
| Multi-site backups | 30,000 - 80,000 |
| Per-branch support | 80,000 - 250,000 |
| Minor evolutions | 150,000 - 400,000 |
Multi-branch architecture and consolidated indicators
The challenge is to let each branch work autonomously, even offline, while giving management a consolidated view. Each branch has its own roles; the group aggregates the key indicators.
| Consolidated indicator | Branch level | Group level |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | per site | total + ranking |
| Stock / resources | local | global alerts |
| Team performance | per role | inter-branch comparison |
| Processing times | local | group average |
| Incidents / disputes | local | central dashboard |

Mini case study
Mr. Ngassa runs a group of 5 service branches in Berlin. His multi-branch app costs 22,000,000 FCFA, maintenance 380,000 FCFA/month. Previously, each branch sent a weekly Excel report consolidated by hand: 6 h/week for a manager, plus errors. The app automates that reporting, about 900,000 FCFA/month of time and errors avoided at group level. The investment pays back in about 24 months, with the bonus of real-time visibility that improves decisions.
FAQ
Why is offline mode essential? Faced with frequent network outages, a branch must keep working without a connection and sync afterward. This block is 4,000,000 to 6,000,000 FCFA but avoids costly activity stoppages.
How does group consolidation work? Each branch pushes its data to a central dashboard that aggregates revenue, stock and performance. Management sees an inter-branch ranking in near real time.
Can I add branches later? Yes, that's the whole point of the multi-branch architecture: adding a site is done by configuration, without redevelopment, for a low marginal cost.
How does it differ from off-the-shelf software? Generic software handles offline mode and specific group reporting poorly. Custom avoids manual consolidations that would cost more than 500,000 FCFA/month in time.
How long until the first pilot site? The multi-branch core with roles ships in 4 to 5 months, letting you deploy a pilot branch before rolling out.
