growyze has partnered with three rocks, the hospitality data and systems specialists behind the XMS BI platform. The integration provides a two-layer approach to running a hospitality business: granular operational data captured by growyze, and connected business intelligence delivered by XMS BI.
The growyze and three rocks partnership is aimed at multi-site operators who want depth at the operational level and clarity at the reporting level—without forcing both into a single, simplified all-in-one system.
Why the growyze and three rocks partnership matters
The joint approach combines specialist capabilities at each layer. growyze focuses on capturing accurate, granular stock and purchasing data day to day. three rocks' data services then extend that foundation, connecting it to the wider business and adding context across sales, margins, costs and targets.
The result is a joined-up view of the hospitality business, from stock room to bottom line—an outcome that neither system could deliver on its own.
Working together delivers accurate operational data from growyze and automated, contextual analysis from XMS BI, allowing operators to act on issues before they become costly.
What growyze brings to the partnership
growyze provides the operational backbone:
- Stocktakes with barcode scanning and variance reporting
- Purchase order management and supplier price tracking
- Automated invoice reconciliation with three-way matching
- Recipe costing tied to live ingredient prices
- Multi-site transfers and waste tracking
This operational foundation provides the data layer that reflects what's actually happening day-to-day—the prerequisite for any reliable reporting built on top.
What XMS BI brings on top
XMS BI is a business intelligence product that turns operational data into accessible, high-value insight—giving operators a real-time view of how the business is performing across sales, margins, costs and targets, as explained on the three rocks website.
The integration with growyze allows operators to "see exactly where ingredients are being used, where wastage is happening and on which shifts", and combine that with sales data to join up systems "that have always sat in silos".
In our words
"At growyze, we focus on getting the operational layer right—capturing stock and purchasing data at a level of detail and accuracy that reflects what’s actually happening day-to-day. That depth is critical, because without it, any reporting or insight built on top becomes unreliable."
— growyze
"The big shift is moving from data collection to data understanding. growyze already does a brilliant job of capturing inventory data; XMS BI will come in and automatically analyse it and turn it into useful, actionable outputs for the whole team."
— three rocks
"Most operators aren’t short on data, they’re short on time to make sense of it. XMS BI solves this by automatically gathering, processing and analysing data in the background, providing insights that managers can act on straight away without needing to dig through spreadsheets."

The growyze and three rocks partnership in action: multi-site margin variance
Multi-site margin performance is the clearest illustration of the integration's value. Operators can usually see that margins differ between sites, but explaining why is harder. All-in-one systems often surface the headline gap without the underlying detail to explain it.
By pairing growyze’s consistent operational data—purchases, stock movements, recipe costs, waste—with XMS BI’s broader performance context, operators can move from "site B has a lower margin" to "site B’s margin is being eroded by a specific ingredient cost on a specific shift". That is where real operational improvement happens.
What this means for hospitality operators
The growyze and three rocks partnership reflects a wider shift in how operators are choosing to build their tech stack. Rather than relying on one system to do everything, more operators are prioritising quality at each layer—accurate data captured at the operational level, and meaningful insight built on top.
For multi-site hospitality businesses navigating tight margins, that layered approach offers a route to greater depth, accuracy and connected understanding—and, ultimately, better commercial decisions.

XMS BI is the business-intelligence platform built by three rocks. It turns operational and sales data into real-time dashboards covering sales, margins, costs and targets, with automated analysis and alerts.
How does XMS BI work with growyze?
growyze captures the granular operational data—stocktakes, purchases, invoices, recipes and waste. XMS BI then connects that data with sales and wider business data to produce joined-up performance insight.
Who is this partnership aimed at?
Multi-site UK and EU hospitality operators that want depth in their operational data and clarity in their reporting, without compromising either by relying on a single all-in-one system.
What does the growyze and three rocks partnership cover?
The growyze and three rocks partnership pairs growyze's operational data layer—stocktakes, purchasing, invoice reconciliation and recipe costing—with the XMS BI platform from three rocks, which turns that data into real-time dashboards across sales, margins, costs and targets.
What problem does the partnership solve?
It addresses the gap between collecting data and understanding it. Operators get accurate operational data from growyze and automated, contextual analysis from XMS BI, so they can act on issues before they become costly.
Where can operators read the official announcement?
