 I know which items to market based on information gained from Item Movement reports. This also helps to better leverage suppliers for deals and advertising. I sell advertising space on the POS customer information display (CID) monitors to vendors, and I also use the POS ad space as a value-add to vendors who advertise in the store flyer program. They send an ad to promote a product at the POS which is a win-win for everyone. I get additional revenue from both the ad space and increased product sales, the vendor increases their product sales, and customers are made aware of new products they may want to try or forgot to purchase. This marketing program has helped pay for my Catapult system. 

 The majority of my inventory is replenished using Catapult OrderAssist technology... CATAPULT automatically suggests the best order based on movement, sales trends and other variables... Supplier Gateway adds the final piece and allows us to electronically transmit orders and receive invoices. It definitely streamlines the entire process and improves the way we do business. I also receive price and cost changes through the system which helps manage prices on received inventory... we are able to keep less inventory on hand but stock more of our top selling items. Out-of-stock items are no longer an issue... Compared with previous methods of inventory management, we probably save two hours per order... 

Inventory is the reason a retail enterprise exists. Without product, customers would have no reason to come in, nothing would be purchased, and no money would be made. So why is inventory, which consumes the majority of capital, often the last place retailers truly focus their attention? Why are outdated, mistake-prone, and manual processes still present in enterprises ranging from large grocery chains to SMB independents? If you haven’t already, it’s time to take the Sam Walton approach to successful retailing. The proof is in the profits.

 I wanted to take full control over my inventory and eliminate guesswork and human error from the day-to-day. ECRS Gateway, in combination with CATAPULT auto reorder, has already saved us substantially by reducing manual labor, pricing errors, inaccurate inventory counts, and ordering mistakes. I also wanted to automate inventory processes to expedite sales and produce higher inventory turns. LogicSync takes the in-and-out data between CATAPULT and ECRS Gateway and transforms it into results previously achieved through hours of manual labor. It ties everything together to provide quantifiable results. 
