See how revenue and margin move before the review meeting starts.

It is an operating analytics layer for multi-location teams. marql focuses on revenue, margin, plan attainment, ranking and store diagnostics that operators need every week. Teams can still export data, but the core review logic already lives in the product.

That is one question, and it is answered as a decomposition rather than an opinion. The change in gross margin is split into a price effect, a cost-of-goods effect, a volume effect and a mix effect, and the four add back to the change exactly — so there is no unexplained remainder to argue about. Each effect names the products behind it, so 'costs' becomes a list of suppliers and SKUs rather than a word. Ask it in plain language and the answer comes from the same decomposition the screen shows.

Yes. The live module includes export for store-level ranking tables, while keeping the main comparison and review flow inside the product.

Analytics explains where the network is drifting. P&L shows whether that movement translates into profit pressure, and marql AI reads the same metrics so teams can ask follow-up questions in their own words and jump into the right screen.
