Improve Big Chains
Big Chains are currently too much of a one shop, with separate locations of that shop. They don't provide enough flexibility to have each store run independently yet share the same databases.
1) Each location needs to have its own address, invoice templates we have banking info, some other locations may wish to call them a slightly different name, this would provide a high level of flexibility allowing for separate invoice templates.
2) Logistics could get very very very messy with part orders being done and visible from 15 - 20 stores, so having each location only able to view its own logistics until checked out would be ideal.
3) Leads needs to be able to be split up by location, using Mailboxr each location could have its own leads list.
4) POs should be filtered by location by default if you are in Brown Town then you should only see Brown Towns POs.

Did anything get done about different invoice templates for each store on this folks?

1. Locations already do get unique address tags {{location_address}}. Banking info might be difficult, but agreed with tags for every location-specific reference.
2. 100% agree on locking visibility of these to locations. That's what location permissions are for!
3. Agreed, but email sucks so not pressing for this.
4. 100% agreed, just as with #2. Everything should be filtered to location permissions!

Yes agreed!!! We are currently 5 stores and opening 5 in the next 6 months... we have no idea how to make it work smoothly with RepairShopR right now..

This is a good summary, Big Chain can certainly get messy.
