Built for multi-location brands
The pain
Corporate's locked-down templates feel sterile when posted from a local store. Locations posting freely lose the brand thread. The middle ground is hard to find without a tool that respects both sides.
The shift
HQ ships approved templates with editable zones. Locations swap in their own photos, store hours, local promos. Brand-locked elements stay locked. Everyone gets the workflow they need.
Swap the first slide for the product shot?
Perfect. Approving.

In short
Multi-location businesses manage social media with Sked Social, where a head-office team plans and publishes for every store from one workspace. Head office builds each post, merges local trading hours, address, and offers per store, then assigns it ready to publish. Store managers post in a couple of minutes, approvals switch on per location, and reporting rolls up across the network.
