Take Your Apparel Retail Business To The Next Level

At ChainDrive, we recognize there are different types of apparel retail stores. You have fashion outlets, upscale apparel, men’s warehouses, ladies clothes, full-figured women shops, children’s stores, and stores centered around specific brand names or that target specific age demographics. The challenge for any retail shop is to manage its merchandise effectively so that customers can find what they want and the business can operate efficiently and profitably. The right tool is an integrated software solution that helps you manage your processes from beginning to end.

Chances are, however, if you’ve been in business for long, that you have some software to help you manage your business. You may have a POS system in place. You may even have a POS and CRM system installed. Perhaps you have warehousing software or merchandise accountability tools. That’s all well and good, but where are you lacking?

Every business has some area that could operate more efficiently. If you’re paying attention, you’ll likely find those areas in your apparel business.

How to Analyze Your Apparel Retail Operations to Determine Your Software Needs

The first step to identifying those areas where you need the most help in your retail operations is to perform a top-down audit. Specifically, you’ll need to evaluate

1. What’s going right?
2. What’s going wrong?
3. And what could use some improvement?

Knowing the answers to these three questions will help you identify those areas of your apparel retail business that you can improve upon for your customers and your bottom line.

From point of sale to wholesale management and from operations to Web integration, ChainDrive has designed a solution to help you manage the process. It may not be necessary to overhaul your entire operation. You may get by simply by adding another layer of software that can interact with what you currently have in place. If that is the case, you just need to know where that missing link is.

If an off-the-shelf solution won’t work for your apparel store, ChainDrive can evaluate your business to determine its needs and work out a customized solution based on your weak points. That includes evaluating your business and scoping out a plan then implementing that plan effectively to work with whatever systems you currently have in place. Our custom development team can help you take your apparel business to the next level because we realize that one size does not fit all.
