Summary
Inventory control and
tracking
Microsoft Business Solutions Retail Management System Headquarters
(HQ) controls and tracks inventory at each store and for the enterprise
as a whole. It offers detailed information on quantity in stock, reorder
points, and restock levels for each item at each store. HQ then makes
this information visible to the home office. Since some stores may have
uniform or disparate inventories, HQ can invoke automatic inventory
replenishment at the home office for any set of stores.
A master inventory database
can be set up and downloaded to any group of stores. Additionally,
information on item types, departments, categories, suppliers,
substitutes, aliases, parent relationships, and more, can be replicated
to stores for consistent stock identification. Sales taxes can then be
programmed individually by store per local regulations.
HQ also promotes inventory
balancing by managing stock transfers among stores with an inter-store
quantity check feature, so you can check the inventory levels at all
stores. Whenever stores upload their information, the quantities in HQ
automatically change.
Purchase orders
HQ's Purchase Order feature can identify what must be purchased,
record all purchases, print POs and receive orders for the entire
business or individual stores. It can automatically generate POs for
selected items, by quantity sold during a period or for items that fall
below restocking levels. Inter-store inventory transfers can be
initiated from the head office or at the stores.
Pricing/sales/promotions
The head office can change and download item prices to specified
store(s). Selected items can be put on sale at specific stores or across
the entire business. Other special pricing can be set up for items,
categories or departments, and then broadcasted as desired. Price
changes can be programmed to take effect immediately or during a
specified time period.
Sales tracking
HQ maintains highly detailed data from every transaction across the
chain. These include invoice number, IDs of items sold, as-sold prices,
tax collected, customer, cashier and sales rep IDs, and applicable
serial number or matrix type. In HQ, detailed sales and profit analyses,
sales commission and tax reports are easily generated. Plus,
comprehensive data collection supports data warehousing and OLAP.
Customer management and
marketing
HQ can keep a complete profile of every customer who has ever
purchased from any of your stores or Web sites. This includes
demographics, preferences, purchase or problem history, account balance
and credit information. Chain-wide buying habits, shopping frequency and
purchase amounts are readily available at the head office. HQ's customer
data supports thorough and accurate database marketing and relationship
selling to targeted customers. This data can be exported to CRM and ERP
applications.
Employee management
HQ monitors sales reps, their hours and the registers they run. It
can upload attendance records for computing hours and labor cost at the
head office. It will centrally compute sales commissions based upon
sales transactions and commission structures found in associates'
profiles.
Powerful, flexible
reports
HQs powerful report generator offers instant, flexible access to a
wealth of meaningful data. With point-and-click speed, it generates
consolidated reports to show sales breakdowns, identify slow-moving
items and check sales for any day- by store location, items,
departments, categories, customer or taxes. Reports and graphs may be
previewed on screen, printed or exported to other Windows-based software
packages.
Advanced security
features
HQ incorporates tight security to restrict employees' access and
changes to sensitive information. It offers 31 security levels that
protect screens and fields, report writing- every sensitive corner of
your system and confidential data.
