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."
