(Newswire.net — October 14, 2013) Brisbane, QLD — Leading retail system solution provider Retail Express has been able to make major advancements in the inventory control software space in recent years, with their innovative and user friendly stock control system helping many retailers manage even the most complex supply chains, in turn helping them to grow their businesses.
According to the company’s management team, the key to Retail Express’ success is its cloud-based, single-database architecture. This sets it apart from solutions which use a separate database at each store location, resulting in the need to perform individual data backups, increased risk of inventory data falling out of sync between stores, and a need for an IT staff to maintain expensive on-site systems.
Retail Express gets around these issues by being hosted at their $85 million Corporate Data Centre in Sydney, which ensures the uptime, safety and security of their customers’ data. It also makes full-function inventory management available to the store owner 24 hours a day from any location and almost any internet-connected device.
The stock control capabilities of Retail Express work closely with its point of sale features for a highly integrated retail control system. Available both in store and via the web, Retail Express say their POS system is designed to be both “powerful and intuitive”, with a full range of features such as gift voucher redemption, invoice creation from mobile devices, web store, and suggested up-sells and cross-sells drawn automatically from customer buying patterns.
Integration of inventory management with the EPOS software enables store staff to query stock levels in real time. With a single data centre at the core, all sales and customer details are live and accessible 24/7.
The result has been a more productive and less stressful work day for many busy retailers. Says Retail Express customer Carol of Bead Envy in Cheltenham, Victoria: “We have a busy family life and Retail Express has helped me spend more time at home. The web store integration and real-time stock control are important to our business.”
