The Problem

Your POS tells you what sold.
It doesn't tell you what you're losing.

Running two to five vape shops means the important things happen where you're not standing. By the time a problem shows up in a monthly report, it has already cost you.

Cash frozen on the shelf.

Dead and aging stock you're still storing, insuring, and not selling - with no easy way to spot it.

Margin leaking quietly.

A few points off on the wrong products, in the wrong store, and you don't see it until the quarter's already gone.

Commission spreadsheets & disputes.

Hours of manual math every pay run, and an argument every time a number looks off.

No idea who really sells.

You feel who your strong staff are - but you can't prove it, rank it, or reward it fairly.

Flying blind when you're away.

If you're not in the store, you don't know what happened until someone tells you - if they tell you.

Numbers that don't agree.

The POS says one thing, the spreadsheet another, and refunds quietly inflate the picture.

Two jobs, one system: know your money, control your operation.

Know Your Money
  • Real revenue - with refunds netted in, not POS fantasy numbers
  • True margin, down to the store, product and category
  • Dead & aging stock, valued in real dollars per store
  • Commissions calculated automatically, with an audit trail
Control Your Operation
  • Every store on one live screen - compare them at a glance
  • A daily ops digest and a CEO brief, delivered to your inbox
  • Accountability by person - who sold what, in which store
  • Assign tasks, track completion, get alerted when it matters
What It Does

Built for how vape retail actually works.

Financials

Numbers you can trust

Revenue with refunds netted in and margin tracked to the SKU. The number on the screen is the number that's real - one source of truth from your POS.

Cash Flow

Dead-stock finder

Every SKU that stopped selling, valued in dollars, per store. Stop reordering the losers and free the cash that's sitting on your shelves.

Profit

Margin protection

Margin by store, product and category, tracked every day - so you catch the slow erosion before it quietly costs you a whole quarter.

$
Payroll

Automatic commissions

Commissions calculated to the transaction, with a full audit trail and run-over-run checks. Retire the spreadsheet - and the arguments that come with it.

People

Employee accountability

See who actually sells. Rank performance by person and by store, and put your rewards where the results are.

Operations

Command & control

A daily digest and CEO brief in your inbox, a live fleet view, and tasks you can assign and track. Run every store without being in every store.

The Payoff

What it's worth - measured on a real chain.

These are real figures from the 7-store chain that runs on Waybud today, over the last twelve months. Your mileage depends on your business - but this is the shape of the return.

$44,500

Dead stock, found

976 SKUs sitting unsold for 90+ days, surfaced in dollars and ready to act on.

$93,000

Per point of margin

One point of gross margin on $9.3M in sales. The system shows you exactly where to find it.

20+ hrs

Saved every month

Manual reporting and commission math - replaced by numbers that are ready when you wake up.

31×

Seller visibility

The gap between the top and bottom performer - now something you can see and manage.

Figures drawn from live operating data, trailing twelve months. Time-savings reported by ownership. Individual results vary by store count, product mix and pricing.

Case Study · Vaping The Way · 7 Stores · Regina, SK

A 7-store vape chain, before and after.

Vaping The Way runs seven locations in Regina, Saskatchewan. They built Waybud because their POS reports couldn't answer the questions that actually run the business. Here's what changed.

Before

  • Monthly reports pulled by hand, always a step behind
  • Dead stock discovered by walking the shelves
  • Commissions reconciled in spreadsheets, disputed at pay run
  • Store performance compared from memory, not data

After

  • $44,500 in dead stock surfaced across 976 SKUs
  • $2.0M in sales attributed & commissioned automatically
  • 20+ hours a month of manual work eliminated
  • All 7 stores compared live, from one screen

Every store, side by side

Annual sales by location (anonymized). The biggest store does more than 3× the smallest - the kind of gap that's invisible until you put every store on one screen.

Store A
$1.9M
Store B
$1.8M
Store C
$1.7M
Store D
$1.3M
Store E
$1.2M
Store F
$0.8M
Store G
$0.6M
≈ 4.9×

In its first pass, Waybud surfaced $44,500 of cash frozen in dead stock - nearly five times a full year's subscription - before counting a single hour saved or a single point of margin protected.

$9,000
Annual Cost, All Stores
$44,500
Frozen Cash Surfaced
20+ hrs/mo
Owner Time Returned

Annual cost shown at $750/mo × 12. Dead stock is frozen working capital to be recovered through action, not a direct cash saving. Figures from live operating data, trailing twelve months.

"We stopped guessing. The questions I used to ask my managers, the system now answers before I ask them."

You get the picture

Live dashboards, a morning digest, and answers you can act on - on your phone or your desktop, the next day.

Why Waybud

Built by operators, not software salespeople.

We run a chain on it

Waybud exists because our own POS reports weren't enough. Seven stores depend on it every single day - so it's built for the real job, not a demo.

Vape-retail native

Disposables, coils, fast-churning flavor SKUs, cross-store staff, tight margins. It's built for how vape actually sells - not a generic retail template.

Decisions, not just charts

Generic dashboards hand you graphs and leave. We hand you the decision: what to stop buying, where margin's leaking, and who to pay.

Pricing

Priced to be a rounding error against what it finds.

One flat subscription: $750 a month. If it surfaces tens of thousands in dead stock and protects your margin, it pays for itself many times over.
