With better control of inventories, we've seen a nice increase in business in an otherwise tough retail environment
Whether it's jewelry, handbags, or hats your needs as an accessories retailer are very specific. It's important to have a
system that can handle these needs and a partner who understands them.
A system that handles your needs would include:
-
The ability to print a
variety of tag stock out
of the system. Not all
systems can print out
jewelry size tags, and
these are very important
to accessories retailers.
-
The ability to have
multiple vendors for a
particular item.
-
The ability for the system
to recognize outstanding
PO's..
Starting as a "push cart" business, the company expanded with two stores, one located in a brand new mall; the other in a "strip mall."
Between both stores, they carry around 16,000 inventory items.
The first store started with a customized software which did not provide the functionality and features needed to manage the
store effectively.
The
company installed
Retail Pro and had
12 of their 23
employees on the
system in a few
weeks.
"The inventory control is where
I have seen it pay for itself.
Prior to Retail Pro I always
wanted my store inventoried by
SKU and my old customized system
would do it, but for $3500.
The ability to look items up
from the remote location and see
what is in stock is a great
feature. In the two months since
the new store opened, we saved
several sales. We can see if an
item is in stock at the other
store and the customer can drive
over to get it or we can
transfer it."
