Cannabis & Multi-Location Retail

Review intelligence across every location, in one view.

Reporting across dozens of locations eats days every month. Avelle pulls, scores, and surfaces review sentiment for every store in one live view — with replies drafted and trends flagged before they become problems.

Multi-location review intelligence pulls, scores and surfaces reviews from every store in one live view, drafts a reply to each, and flags a location's sentiment trend before its rating drops.

The problem

Where multi-location reporting breaks.

Not at one store. At the point where nobody can see all of them at once.

Days lost to manual reporting

Someone pulls reviews store by store, pastes them into a spreadsheet, and by the time the report circulates it is describing last month.

Problems visible only in hindsight

A single location's rating slides for six weeks before anyone notices, because nobody is looking at that store specifically.

Reviews answered inconsistently

Some stores reply within a day, some never. Head office cannot tell which is which without checking each listing.

No signal across the group

A recurring complaint appearing at nine of twenty stores is a systemic issue. In a spreadsheet it looks like nine unrelated reviews.

What we build

Four systems for a group, not a store.

Built and running — this is the one you can read a case study about.

Review intelligence across all locations

  • Pulls reviews from every location automatically, continuously
  • Normalises them into one structure regardless of platform
  • Removes the manual store-by-store collection entirely
  • Keeps history so trends are visible over quarters, not weeks

Sentiment scoring and trend flagging

  • Scores every review for sentiment and theme
  • Flags a location whose trend turns before the rating drops
  • Surfaces complaints repeating across multiple stores
  • Separates a bad week from a real operational problem

Executive dashboards instead of spreadsheets

  • One live view across the whole group
  • Drill down from group to region to a single store
  • Rankings that show which locations need attention this week
  • Reporting that is current rather than last month's

Automated reply drafting

  • Drafts a reply to every review in your brand voice
  • Holds them for approval rather than posting blind
  • Ensures consistent response times across every location
  • Escalates the reviews that need a manager, not a template
The comparison that matters

What are you comparing this against?

Usually a coordinator doing it manually, or enterprise reputation software priced per location.

How it works

How long does it take to go live?

We build around how you already run — you do not change your systems to suit ours.

  1. 01

    Map the location structure

    We set up your group, regions and individual stores the way your reporting is actually organised.

  2. 02

    Connect the review sources

    We pull from every platform each location appears on and normalise it into one consistent structure.

  3. 03

    Build the scoring and dashboards

    We define the sentiment themes that matter to your operation and build the views your leadership actually reads.

  4. 04

    Launch and tune

    We go live, review the first reporting cycle with you, and tune flagging thresholds against real operational signal.

Design targets, not guaranteed results. Outcomes vary by business size, volume and starting point.

Integrations

Will it work with the tools we already use?

Avelle is platform-agnostic. We connect to your stack rather than asking you to migrate.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does multi-location review intelligence cost?

Builds start at $4,500 setup plus $1,500/mo on the Growth package and scale with location count. Groups running deeper operational reporting move to Scale at $8,500 setup plus $2,800/mo. Scope is set after a free consultation.

Has Avelle actually built this?

Yes — this is one of our production builds rather than a concept. You can read the Inspired Cannabis case study for the structure, what it replaced and what it now runs across.

How many locations can it handle?

The architecture is built for groups rather than single stores, so location count is a configuration question rather than a technical limit. Pricing scales with it; the reporting structure does not change.

Does it post replies automatically?

Only if you want it to. The default is drafted replies held for approval, which is what most groups prefer — consistent response times without publishing anything unreviewed. Reviews needing a manager are escalated rather than templated.

How long until it is live?

Most multi-location builds go live in two to four weeks, depending on how many review platforms your locations appear on and how your reporting hierarchy is structured.
