At The Growth Collaboration, we believe in delivering real savings before charging a fee. Our No Savings, No Fee model ensures that SMEs can optimize operations, reduce costs, and improve efficiency without financial risk.

Recently, we partnered with Vivo Vape Ltd., a multi-store vape retailer, to tackle their stock management and EPOS inefficiencies. Their case is a prime example of how targeted improvements can save money, boost productivity, and drive scalable growth—without requiring large upfront costs.

The Challenge: Hidden Costs & Inefficiencies

Vivo Vape Ltd. faced several costly operational hurdles:

    🕒 Manual Reporting – Staff spent 10+ hours/week on reports across five stores, reducing productivity.

    💻 Multiple EPOS Systems – Five different systems led to data errors & costly manual reconciliations.

    📦 Stock Control Issues – Poor inventory visibility caused overordering, stockouts, and lost revenue.

    🔄 No Customer Loyalty System – No way to track customer habits or encourage repeat business.

Like many SMEs, they were spending too much time on admin instead of focusing on growth and profitability.
