entered. A tightly integrated internal Mail system keeps the Credit Manager “in the know” of all of the deals in process at store level.

Those Jewelry chains involved with installment credit will have a contract automatically print at store level for the customer to sign.

For those involved with the merchandise side of the business, they will also find specialized tools to track merchandise as it travel throughout the chain. Merchandise Transfers are tracked for merchandise tracked via auto stock replenishment, manual transfers, and returned merchandise at store level. Our 'Basic' merchandise stock level helps the Merchandise Planners with the distribution responsibility based upon yesterday's sales. Imagine your retail business with "Just-in-Time" merchandise at store level.
