Retailing

A retailer needed to know what was selling and what was not in each of their stores to enable better stock control and exact information about their margins so they could clear out stock without making a loss.

Analysing their existing system, we decided to replace it.

A new system comprising both POS and back-office was selected, its deployment was project-managed to ensure a smooth implementation and most importantly, we made sure that the staff received adequate training.

Once the system was stable and everyone familiar with it, we designed and provided tools to give management information on:

• Add-on and multiple sales, which categories these came from, at what times and on which days they occurred
• How staff were coping with peak selling periods and the nature of those sales
• The ‘hot spots’ and ‘dead locations’ in their stores and what return they were getting by floor area in each store
• The sales and profit they were making at what times and whether it was cost-effective to extend their trading hours
• More effective stock-control, what return they were getting on their inventory and how much ‘dead stock’ they were holding and in which categories
