Manage Department Stores Across All Channels
One of the great things about a department store is its variety. It’s a lifestyle center, a place that has the items you need for many parts of a comfortable life that is healthy, happy, and hospitable. Today’s department stores offer more than the traditional brick and mortar. With cross channel retailing & the advent of wireless and mobile devices, consumers shop online, find mutual interests, look for inspiration and more from a hand-held device that is rarely far from their reach.
Integrated Software Connects The Dots
With a good, integrated retail management software suite there are ways to keep track of the details in department store operations. Customer loyalty programs, gift registries and certificates, inventory analysis, price controls, sales commissions and more are seamlessly woven into a well-run store.
All these details are data. Data that is centrally stored and accessed appropriately can be utilized when and how it is needed for analysis or planning. Multiple channels and cost centers are no problem with the right retail software because it can keep track of it all.
