Numbers live in five places
POS says one thing, the spreadsheet says another, accounting says a third. By the time they agree, the month is over.
● Briggs Strategies LLC — Florida
Your locations run on disconnected systems. Your numbers shouldn't.
I help multi-location operators get one clear view of sales, inventory, labor, and cash — without ripping out what already works. Strategy consulting, leadership coaching, and an ERP built around how you actually operate.

The pattern I see everywhere
Growth didn't break your business.
It broke your visibility.
Every location does it differently
Ordering, scheduling, reporting — each manager invented their own system. It worked at two locations. It fails at five.
You're the integration layer
Every question routes through you. You became the dashboard — and that's why you can't step back from the day-to-day.
What I do
Three ways we work together
Strategy Consulting
Growth, go-to-market, and operating-model decisions grounded in your real numbers — not a template deck. Where to expand, what to fix first, what to stop doing.
Leadership Coaching
For owners and managers carrying too much themselves. Build leaders who can read the numbers and run their location without you standing over it.
Automation & Systems
Connect the tools you already have, automate the reporting you do by hand, and — where it fits — implement CodeOrit ERP as the backbone.
The platform
CodeOrit ERP — a backbone, not a rip-and-replace
CodeOrit sits over the systems you already run and works with your existing hardware. It's modular and in-house built, so it's configured around your operating model — you take the modules you need, in the order you need them. Tap a module to see what it covers:
- Role-based dashboards — owner, district, and store managers see the same information, each at the level they need.
- Scales with you — from a single site to multi-branch operations without changing platforms.
- AI automation layer in development — being built on top of the live modules, not sold as vaporware.
Start here — fixed price
The Operations X-Ray
Two weeks inside your numbers and your locations. I map where information gets stuck, where margin leaks, and which fix pays back fastest — then hand you a written plan you can act on with or without me.
- Days 1–3Discovery — your systems, reports, and how each location actually runs
- Days 4–10Analysis — sales, inventory, labor, and cash flow traced across locations
- Days 11–14Findings — written report + walkthrough call with prioritized, costed next steps
$1,500
Fixed fee. No hourly meter, no scope creep.
The full fee is credited toward implementation if you move forward with CodeOrit ERP or a consulting engagement.
The intro call is free. We talk through your operation first — the X-Ray only happens if it's genuinely the right next step.
About
I'm Derrik Briggs. I've run the operations I now advise on.
More than 14 years leading food-service and hospitality operations, with hands-on experience managing teams, driving performance, and taking ownership of the P&L. I know what a P&L looks like at 6 a.m. on a Saturday—because I've lived it.
Briggs Strategies is my firm — founder-led, not an agency hand-off. My business partner and I built CodeOrit ERP in-house for the operators I kept meeting: good businesses flying blind between locations. BA in Business Administration, Brevard College, 1992. Based in Florida.

Common questions
Do I have to replace my current systems to use CodeOrit?
No. CodeOrit is designed as a backbone over what you already run, working with your existing hardware. Some clients replace pieces over time; nobody starts with a rip-and-replace.
Who is this for?
Owners and operators of small and mid-sized businesses with more than one location — or one location that's outgrown spreadsheets — in retail, wholesale, hospitality, distribution, and multi-branch operations.
What happens on the 15-minute call?
You describe your operation and where the numbers get murky. I tell you honestly whether the X-Ray or CodeOrit fits — and if it doesn't, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.
Where are you based?
Florida. I work with clients locally face-to-face and remotely elsewhere.
