As UK retailers gear up for the busiest shopping period of the year, experts are predicting that more and more UK shoppers will be utilising both on and offline shopping channels to purchase their festive gifts.  Improvements in broadband connectivity and consumers more willing to shop around for the best deal mean that competition between the retailers will be more intense than ever.
Often overlooked during this period is the management of stock levels and the ability to provide consumers with the products they want at a time when they want it.  Integration between online and offline stores in any shopping chain becomes even more important as shoppers scramble for the ideal Christmas gift.  Even small and medium sized retail businesses now have to distribute their stock between branches and online delivery.  This means that a handle on the levels of products a company holds is essential if customers are not to be left disappointed come Christmas Morning.
To meet this increased demand for shopping channel integration we are currently promoting our full integrated range of EPoS, e-Commerce and Stock Management products to retailers in time for the Christmas period.  Key to these products is their ability not only to integrate with each other but to link in with any company’s accounts package be it Sage, Pegasus Opera II or Iris Exchequer.  The ultimate goal of these products is to seamlessly integrate together in order to provide clear and accurate stock information, reduce the need for rekeying of data and increase the volume of customers which can be served at any one time.
Company Managing Director Phil Dawson explained the significance of integration in the run up to Christmas, “During the busiest shopping periods with Christmas being the key time, many retail businesses find that their stock management is not as smooth running as it could be.  Companies can find that their online and offline channels compete for stock of the most popular items and reordering tends to be hit and miss.  Our products provide a link between the different shopping channels and provide accurate up to the minute reports so that any company using our software can order stock based on figures rather than guess work.”
We are finding that companies looking to capitalise on increasing consumer numbers are looking more towards accurate stock management to give themselves the competitive edge over rival businesses.  Cost effective with a solid return on investment these products are specifically designed to aid companies as they look to improve the control over their products.  After all, unearthing the most popular products in time for the Yuletide spending rush can mean the difference between turning over a healthy profit and struggling to break even for the year.
