2025 Retrospective: A Year of Innovation Driving Your Profitability

2025 Retrospective: A Year of Innovation Driving Your Profitability

As 2025 comes to a close, the development team at Octogone has been particularly active. Staying true to our commitment to remain closely connected to your day-to-day reality, we deployed dozens of strategic updates designed to turn operational challenges into powerful performance drivers.

Here is an overview of the key advancements that shaped our platform this year.

📊 A Next-Generation Dashboard

Your management dashboard has evolved to provide sharper, more precise insights into the financial health of your locations.

• Fixed and Variable Cost Analysis
  New modules now allow you to consolidate all expenses, delivering a clear and accurate view of net profitability by location.
• Weighted Food Cost
  Food Cost calculations now account for the actual monetary impact of each item sold, resulting in a far more accurate margin analysis.
• Labor Cost Indicators
  You can now track labor cost percentages and compare planned versus actual labor costs directly within your reports.

🔄 Logistics & Multi-Location Operations: The Transfers Module

The Transfers module has become a core pillar for restaurant groups and central kitchens.

• Automated and Synchronized Workflow
  A validated transfer between two locations now automatically generates an Octogone invoice for the receiving entity, simplifying intercompany accounting.
• Recipe Transfers
  Complex recipes (preparations) can now be transferred, with the receiving location treating them as incoming products.
• Full Traceability
  Every inventory movement is documented, with the ability to add additional fees or specific taxes.

🍳 Production and Recipe Control

We enhanced your kitchen tools to ensure consistency, reduce waste, and improve operational efficiency.

• Smart Labels and QR Codes
  Generate professional labels (identification or sales) that include QR codes for instant access to technical recipe sheets.
• Dynamic Price History
  Octogone automatically recalculates recipe costs whenever an ingredient or supplier price changes, while maintaining a complete cost history for margin analysis.
• Enhanced Recipe Book
  Allergens and certifications are now integrated into the Recipe Book view, simplifying team training and improving food safety compliance.

🤝 Integrations & Ecosystem

Octogone continues to break down silos by connecting with leading industry partners.

• New POS Partners
  We are proud to announce integrations with Colossale Cloud POS, as well as Shopify, BEST, and Simphony, ensuring seamless sales synchronization.
• HR Synergy
  A deep integration with the Emprez platform now enables synchronization of locations, employees, and roles without duplicate data entry, complementing existing integrations with Agendrix and Evolia.

🚀 What’s Next for 2026? The Evolution of Your Daily Management Partner

The year 2025 was only the prelude to a major transformation. We laid the foundation for a fully reimagined technological architecture designed to take your operations to the next level.

The next generation of Octogone, currently in development, will mark a turning point.

• A Reimagined Experience
  We are working on a completely new interface. More than a visual update, this is a redesigned navigation experience built to be faster, more intuitive, and perfectly aligned with the pace of your operations.
• Intelligence at the Core of the Platform
  In 2026, Octogone takes a step toward truly proactive management. With advanced automation and integrated AI, the platform will act as a trusted advisor—suggesting optimizations before you even feel the need.
• Shared Knowledge
  Imagine simplified access to an enriched product database, making inventory deployment easier and standardizing data across your entire network.
• Inspired by Your Reality
  This evolution is a direct result of your feedback. Every new feature is designed to address the real-world challenges you share with us every day.
