How does Axial Shift compare to Harri for enterprise restaurant groups?
By Axial Shift
Why extensibility matters at enterprise scale
At enterprise scale, no tool stands alone. Labor, sales and HR data has to flow to payroll, the data warehouse, BI tools and identity systems, then back out to the stores. A platform that connects to everything keeps every other system you've invested in fully used.
Where Axial is different
- Integration is at the core of the business model, not an add-on
- Any external data source can be piped into Axial, including forecasts, so brands that don't want to use Axial's forecast can bring their own
- Axial connects even to systems it competes with, such as HotSchedules and CrunchTime, so stores can switch over in waves
- Your data is your data. We will never hold it hostage.
Questions to ask any vendor
- Is it built for brands with thousands of locations? Yes. Axial is built for national brands at that scale, with settings that cascade from account to region to store.
- Can it receive a forecast from another source and send data to your warehouse? Yes. Any external data source can be piped into Axial, including forecasts, and everything Axial holds can go out through the API, SFTP feeds and exports.
- Does SSO cost extra? Not with Axial. Axial works with all the major SSO providers, including Okta and Microsoft Entra ID, at no extra charge.
- Will it connect to the systems it competes with? Yes. Axial connects to HotSchedules and CrunchTime, among others.
