About SideKick360
Built by Operators,
for Operators
SideKick360 was built by people who started behind the counter and spent decades running stores, districts, and regions — not by people who read about it in a pitch deck.
Our Story
We built the platform we always wished we had.
SideKick360 started with a simple problem: shop owners had plenty of data locked inside their management systems, but no practical way to use it. Advisors had customers in the bay but no context to serve them well. And multi-unit operators were stuck pulling reports from each store one at a time, hoping the numbers told the truth.
We’d lived that problem for 30 years — running stores, managing districts, coaching teams, building marketing platforms for the industry. So we built what we couldn’t find anywhere else: a real-time analytics layer that connects to the shop management systems operators already use and makes performance visible, comparable, and actionable across every location.
Every KPI framework, every coaching workflow, every metric in the platform was field-tested in real shops with real problems before it ever became software. That’s what makes SideKick360 different — it was designed by the people who actually have to use it.
