Business Solutions & EPOS
Review
The RMS package was demonstrated prior to acceptance and received very positive feedback. In this instance the customer was familiar with EPOS systems software and understood what benefits this would provide. The integration process, with the existing accounting software, was the only remaining consideration.
The installation process would be completed within one week. This would be relatively easy to achieve physically but would be quite demanding on the sales and accounting team. With each shop coming on-line virtually together any “teething issues” would be experienced by all stores, it was felt more important to get the system up and running as quickly as possible and deal with any issues as necessary.
Additionally one of the stores would be setup as a warehouse and provide distribution to all others. This would impact the parts numbering as the individual stores would no longer be able to have specific labels. A generic numbering system would work fine and allow more flexible final stock placement, at any store. The final accounting would still be allocated to each store correctly (and sales person) when entered into the EPOS terminals, so sales analysis would still be possible. This decision would prove to be very effective for stock management and control.
