{ Apparel Retail Systems™ }

GENERAL OVERVIEW - The system is designed for retail groups with a number of
outlets and a Management structure which requires effective reporting. Many retail
systems are designed for very large retail enterprises where the sophistication
of reporting reflects the scale of the business and there is a high degree of resource
require at the central warehouse or warehouses to make the systems operate.

Our systems are being developed on a continual basis so as to enable
retailers to gain access to affordable technology that they can use
themselves without the need for experienced Data Processing staff.

Where possible we are putting the emphasis on as much work that can be done
at the retail outlet being done at the retail outlet. This is normally where there is
capacity to label products and handle stock transfers, stock takes and other
functions providing instructions are clear enough and the software for use at the
shops is simple and "fool proof" enough.
 
OBJECTIVES - The main objectives of Apparel Retail Systems are
to provide for the following:-
To enable stock to be moved from where it is not selling to where it can
best be sold.
To provide a simple yet accurate and effective system. This removes
as much scope for error from the sales assistants, so that they can
concentrate on Customer Service.
To automate as much of the stock allocation and transfer process as
possible yet retaining flexibility to manually override.
To avoid "mountains" of paper that some systems have to generate in the
form of reports. The use of screen enquiries where possible is adopted.
To provide accurate information to enable products that is selling to be
purchased and not those that are not selling.
To ensure that at the end of each day there are totals for the days "takings"
that can be checked by Management and not at the shop and compared in
detail with what has been sold.
To be able to look at sales not just in terms of units and value sold but to look
at profitability by Product and Product Group also. Reporting normally will
show:- daily, weekly, weekly rolling average, monthly (monthly rolling average),
season and annual sales in terms of Units, Sales Value, Cost and Profit
The System handles general products and products that are in colours and sizes.
Overall profitability information by outlet and performance data for each area of
the business e.g. Stock Turnover, Product group analysis etc.
