Enterprise Resource Planning

All of the information generated as a result of transaction processing is immediately fed to the Intelligence data warehouse providing one source of the truth.  Our ERP solution brings order to the chaos so that retail merchants, operations, and financial personnel can access this central data repository for the critical decision-making information needed to effectively run the business, all in real-time.

Inventory Daybook

The daybook provides precise reporting for merchants and ensures that other business processes such as planning, allocation, and replenishment are accurately supported. Because everything is recorded at the detail level, it is easy to track under stocks, overstocks, and out of stocks and provide accurate margin calculations, including the ability to correct costs, margins, and even cost of goods sold, with one entry.

Whether you’re ready to step up to flow-through and cross-dock techniques or you’re using your warehouse for seasonal storage, the integrated warehouse management module enables efficient merchandise flow. Intelligent order fulfillment features enable you to maximize efficiency, control costs, while still delighting your customers with the goods they want, when and where they want them.

Master Your Data with MDM

The master data management module streamlines the maintenance of huge volumes of information and offers merchandise, enterprise, and vendor dimensions complete with multiple hierarchies to simplify the data entry process and improve data accuracy.  The vendor database removes the complexity from vendor management with a central repository that contains all the information about vendors and vendor products.
Additionally, by tailoring data and access to a defined group of products, the solution supports category management at any level of the product hierarchy and/or a defined set of attributes, as well as specific channels or selling locations as desired. This gives users unparalleled flexibility and control in managing the life of the product from concept to supplier management, procurement, visual merchandising and planograms, and distribution.
