Stop Fighting Your BI Tools
Use a reporting platform that's actually built for multi-location business. Traditional BI tools fail multi-location businesses. They weren't built for franchisees, can't handle location-level security, and turn simple reports into IT projects.

The Critical Difference
Traditional BI tools were designed for corporate data analysis. AI Growth Advisor was built from the ground up for multi-location businesses to share insights, set goals, and grow together.
Why Power BI Collapses for Franchises
Power BI is like a two-story building not designed to support added stories—it collapses under the weight of multi-unit reporting. It was designed for big corporate business reporting, not a multi-unit system. If you try to make it that, you will suffer major pain and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you will most likely fail.
AI Growth Advisor, in contrast, is built with a solid foundation specifically for scalable, franchise-ready performance.
Here's What You Need to Know
"Why not just use Power BI?" - the answer is simple: Power BI wasn't designed to be a multi-unit reporting system or to be shared with franchisees. We've never seen a franchisor successfully deploy it across their network without major pain and cost. AI Growth Advisor was built specifically for this, offering seamless multi-location management, security, and financial integration.
