Your shoe or fashion retail company can achieve dramatically increased profit margins with the help of a system by Retail Technology Limited.

Streamlining your stock and sales management by implementing this solution, you can control and manage new lines, customer service, pricing, merchandising and stock.

The system uses advanced technology and integrates smoothly with the Microsoft Business applications including Microsoft Office that you are already familiar with, making it very simple to implement and to use.

You can benefit from a highly impressive solution which will take the effort out of monitoring and replenishing stock, maximise bestsellers and identify new opportunities in the market.

Using a Retail Technology solution powered by Microsoft Dynamics RMS to automate and integrate your retail management will allow you to optimise your productivity, so that you can focus your time on running your business.

The full system gives you the full package, ensuring that all your software is integrated and that you only need to deal with one company to get exactly what you need.

If you already have your own hardware or computers, we can very likely integrate the system to work with what you already use. If you want to build your system over time to reduce your outlay, Retail Technology can accommodate that as well.

Just talk to Retail Technology to see whether a support package can be tailored to your needs. On-line or classroom training, training road shows, self service portal accessible 24/7, prioritised telephone support, customer forum and Microsoft Certified Professionals on the helpdesk all help to give you a superior support experience.

When you use parts of the system, you can always expand it as you grow more confident with it or as your business requirements develop and change.

You can enhance your reputation by using a system that can identify what your customers want, and help you provide it for them.

With a system from Retail Technology powered by Microsoft Dynamics RMS you can identify your most popular lines and ensure that they are always in stock. You can also spot poorer performing products more quickly, and even find out which products haven't made it out of the stock room, so your customers always have the best choices available to them.

You can have your stock availability up-to-date and on hand, so that you know where you can find that product your customer desperately wants to get hold of.

The technology even makes it easier for you to offer customer loyalty rewards and to target the right customers with promotions that are relevant to them.

The system also makes it easy to set up an e-commerce website to provide your customers with 24/7 availability online.

With a solution that identifies and provides what your customers want, as well as offering reward schemes and intelligent promotions, your customers can benefit from a fantastic retail experience with your business.

How it works

Features

Headquarters

Store Operations

You can protect your company from poorly performing lines and prepare for the demand for successful products by using a system that can identify risks and opportunities.

By providing you with all the information about which lines are selling, which are not and which are stuck in the stock room you have all the information you need to select the best products and lines for your store.

You can get ahead of the competition by using the system to get your orders in first, ensuring you have enough of those popular products, or by putting on a sale to move those less successful lines.

Your system can even help you spot anomalies caused by theft or loss, and can monitor deliveries so that you can manage them appropriately.

With all the information you need to manage your stock and products you can provide your customers with exemplary service and stay one step ahead of the competition whilst saving yourself time and effort by using a simple and efficient stock control solution.

As Retail Technology's system is powered by Microsoft RMS and makes use of the industry standard SQL database, it is very likely that we're able to re-use some essential parts of your existing data so that you won't need to re-enter large amounts of data!

That also applies to any customer or supplier information you already hold. Retail Technology will be more than happy to explore the best way of saving you time and effort and making the process of moving over to a Retail Technology system as easy as possible..

The system by Retail Technology is powered by Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS).

RMS receives many millions of research and development budget every year. This commitment by Microsoft is unmatched by any other system provider. This enables our product to stay up-to-date!

Microsoft has a well thought out roadmap for RMS making it available and supported well into the next decade. Combine that with Retail Technology's unprecedented focus on your retail sector and you’re on the way to better information thus better profits! Your investment is secure!

A system by Retail Technology is focused on providing you with important information that will enable you to make sound decisions.

Retail Technology's system provides you with all of the key performance indicators. Reporting for shoe and fashion retailers is distinctly different to someone selling e.g. cameras or gifts. Reports produced by Retail Technology’s system meet your industry specific requirements.

The reporting module allows for sophisticated filtering options, automated report delivery and advanced merchandise planning through a WSSI (weekly sales and stock intake).

If you already run a retail system and are looking to change, it is likely that some existing hardware, if not all, can be re-used with a Retail Technology system.

We can advise on every aspect of hardware to ensure that your systems run smoothly whilst avoiding unnecessary expense.

By integrating your company's system with your suppliers, you can save time and money.

Being connected to your suppliers means that you can release the money tied up in stock and storage by using your system to auto-replenish popular lines. This service is available with e.g. Clarks and Start-rite.

Your system can automatically connect to Retail Technology's Catalogue database, so that you can import catalogue information of most well known brands with speed and efficiency.

Using supplier's barcodes that are already on the garment or box end promotes accuracy and means that items delivered can be sold immediately without the need for producing one's own barcodes.

A system that integrates with your suppliers also reduces the potential of human error leaving you with too many or too few of a certain product. It works to the conditions that you set, giving you complete control over your stock and supply.

An e-commerce website gives your customers the freedom and flexibility to buy from you at any time on any day.

Your website can open your business to the global community. Allowing you to benefit from lower overheads on each individual sale.

By using a system that integrates your database with your website you can automatically schedule updates of your stock, and control the products and pricing on the site.

You can save money by using the technology you already have from your Retail Technology system to integrate your online and stock databases, instead of using a standalone database and third party company.

Stock lists for shoe and fashion retailers are often very complex due to seasonal and stylistic changes, vast number of colours, sizes, width firings, leg lengths, cup sizes, fabrics, linings, heel heights and many more.

A system that provides you with one integrated database for all your lines and products can give you control over your stock, makes it simple to keep the correct order levels and helps you to reduce the amount of cash tied up in your store room.

By setting up auto-stock replenishment, you can ensure that you don't run out of your consistently popular products, and helps you to minimise the amount of storage space you fill.

Your system accumulates and organises all your product information into one database, making it simple to identify successful products and minimise risks.

In our sector we deal with colours, sizes, cup sizes, width fittings, leg lengths etc. Your system may be very good but it may not be designed to deal easily with that complexity of merchandise.

A system by Retail Technology caters for everything that has to do with that complexity and it makes light work of it. Why? Simply because it is designed with years of firsthand experience in your sector. It works in a way that you are naturally used to!

Your Retail Technology system is a simple, effective and intuitive solution that integrates with Microsoft Office products as well as your existing hardware, and is supportable by Retail Technology as well as other companies.

We offer support over the telephone or online, and also offer training to ensure you can make the most of your system.

Please feel free to contact us about the support and training available to you.

RTL's solution provides retailers with all the Key Performance Indicators you could possibly want. If you want to go one step further or you employ buyers and merchandisers then RTL can offer you an advanced tool called the WSSI. WSSI stands for Weekly Sales and Stock Intake and is pronounced "Whizzy". The WSSI is used to monitor sales and stock intake by week against what is planned and is able to show Open To Buy (OTB).

The WSSI runs as a spreadsheet in Excel and the underlying data is made available to the spreadsheet through RTL Reports Pro.

This module was developed in conjunction with Malcolm Newberry and Stephen Brindle who have vast experience in merchandising. Malcolm also lectures at the London College Of Fashion. You can find out more about the RTL WISSI  here. For details on courses, please go here.

The important thing is to implement a system soon so that you can start taking control of your business.

Many of our customers buy the system out right but equally as many choose a leasing option. As a Microsoft Partner, we are able to offer you Microsoft Finance. Microsoft Finance can help you fund the entire package; software as well as hardware!
