A visit to each shop and one sitting
Branch ledger
Families who keep two or three counters ask for a branch ledger when one shop reorders out of habit and the other is quietly short of the same item.
Who asks for it
An owner with two or three Bangkok shops selling related goods. The ledger follows lines you name, or a whole shared family such as fasteners, rice and oil, or school cloth.
What you leave with
Paired pages: each shop's count of the named lines, the sizes or packs that differ, and a note where one back room is holding what the other shop has already run out of.
Who does the work
Suda Prasert sets the lines. Ploy Rattanapong counts the second shop. Kiet Thongchai draws the pairs.
Before we arrive
Tell each shop we are coming. A manager who will not open the back room will stop that half of the ledger.
Bounds of the file
Two shops are the usual file. A third Bangkok shop is 18,000 THB if it is named before the deposit. Shops outside Bangkok need a travel line in the quote.
In the file
- A visit to each named shop
- The same count method in each room
- Paired pages for the lines in the brief
- One sitting with the person who buys for both shops
- Two bound copies and a PDF
Left with you and your own advisers
- Telling one manager they are at fault
- Moving goods between shops ourselves
- More than three addresses in one file
The order of the work
-
01
The lines
You name the shops and the lines that should be compared. We visit each address, not a sample of one.
-
02
The pair
Counts are taken close together so a delivery between visits does not look like a difference in habit.
-
03
The sitting
The buyer turns the paired pages once. We do not chair a meeting between the two shop staff unless you ask for that hour separately.
