  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a new branch">
    Add a new branch with its name, address, and contact information.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Designate Main Branch">
    Designate one branch as your "Main Branch" (usually headquarters).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign staff">
    Assign staff members to specific branches.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How branches affect inventory

Inventory is tracked separately per branch. When adding stock to a product, you select which branch the items belong to. The dashboard can show aggregate metrics across all branches or filter down to a specific location.

* Each branch maintains its own stock quantities independently.
* Sales at one branch do not affect stock at another.
* Branch-specific staff only see inventory for their assigned location.
* Reports can be generated per branch or across the entire organization.
