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. |
