No single source of truth
Stock counts, supplier spend, orders and waste live in separate spreadsheets and apps, so nobody can compare them against each other.
Vyso for money leakage
The money isn't missing. It's just not visible yet.
Most businesses don't lose money in one dramatic event. It leaks out in small, repeated amounts—stock variance, price creep, duplicated spend, hours of unbilled admin—scattered across tools that never talk to each other.
The problem
Why this keeps happening.
Money leakage rarely looks like fraud or a single bad decision. It looks like a delivery that was short by a few units and never flagged, a supplier price that crept up three months ago and was never renegotiated, or a manager who quietly absorbed two extra hours of admin because the report had to go out on Friday.
Individually, each of these looks too small to investigate. Collectively, across a month of orders, waste and pricing decisions, they add up to a meaningful share of margin—and because the information sits in different spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads and people's memory, no one is actually positioned to see the pattern.
Why businesses struggle
It's rarely one big failure.
These are the recurring patterns behind reduce money leakage. The audit confirms which ones are actually present in your operation.
Reviews happen monthly, leaks happen weekly
By the time a manager sits down to reconcile the numbers, the small losses that caused the gap are long forgotten.
Ownership is unclear
Spotting leakage is technically everyone's job—which in practice means it is often no one's job.
Small losses look too small to chase
A R200 variance here and a R400 price increase there rarely trigger action on their own, even though the pattern repeats every week.
What it costs
Small losses, repeated often.
The figures below are indicative, based on the patterns we typically see in growing South African food and operations businesses before tighter controls are in place. Your own numbers are confirmed during the one-week audit.
R8k–R25k
typical monthly stock and pricing variance before tighter controls
6–10 hrs
manager time spent reconciling numbers across spreadsheets each week
3–5%
of revenue that can quietly erode through untracked margin drift
30+ days
average delay before a leak becomes visible in a monthly report
None of these numbers are dramatic on their own. That is exactly why they are hard to catch without a system that is watching continuously, rather than a person reviewing once a month.
How Vyso helps
A possible module shape.
Vyso does not add another spreadsheet to reconcile. It connects the workflows where leakage actually happens—purchasing, stock, pricing and reporting—so variances surface as they occur, not weeks later.

InsightGen
Cross-workflow reporting and anomaly alerts
Vyso module

Example workflow
What it looks like in practice.
A representative flow—the exact sequence is confirmed for your operation during implementation.
Connect the workflow
Stock, spend and orders are pulled into one operating record instead of separate files.
Set the thresholds
You define what counts as a meaningful variance, price movement or delay worth flagging.
Surface it early
InsightGen flags anomalies as they happen, not once someone finally reconciles the month.
Review and close the loop
Managers action flagged items inside the same workflow, so the fix is recorded, not just noticed.

Common questions
Fit before implementation.
How does Vyso find money leakage we can't see today?
By connecting the workflows where it actually happens—purchasing, stock and pricing—into one record, then flagging variances against thresholds you set. The one-week audit maps where your business is most exposed before any system is configured.
Do we need to replace our existing reporting before this works?
No. Vyso can sit alongside your current tools while the audit determines which parts of the workflow are creating the biggest blind spots, and which should move into Vyso first.
How quickly can we expect to see where money is leaking?
That depends on the workflow and the data available. Some patterns—like recurring stock variance—become visible within the first weeks of tighter tracking. The audit gives a realistic view before any commitment is made.
Is this only useful for large operations?
No. A single growing restaurant, farm or supplier can be a fit once the leakage is no longer small enough to shrug off, even without multiple locations or a large team.
