Advanced Retail Management System

When it comes to managing your retail outlet there is an increasing need to improve productivity in order to stay competitive. Productivity improvements can come from using staff more efficiently, automating repetitive tasks as well as reducing wastage particularly on purchasing decisions.Suntel have developed a unique advanced retail management system that will help in all these areas as well as other important activities such as marketing.

Our advanced retail management system makes it possible for you to:

a. Simplify and improve efficiency of many of the day to day retail processes.
b. Get instant reports on what is selling and identify where your profits are coming from.
c. Connect your shop, website and eBay in a single multichannel?stock system.
d. Simplify accounts system with product level VAT tracking.
e. Work from home or anywhere connected via the internet in real time. You can even work when offline.

Open Source Architecture for Retail

Our advanced retail management system uses open-source architecture for maximum stability and to keep costs low. Open source is a form of IT that is developed by communities of developers rather than single organisations. There are significant benefits to this approach which has resulted in many successful products, Linux being the most widely known.

Suntel ‘Connect’ products use an open source Firebird database at each till location. These local databases send data up to a central database server using an internet connection to deliver central reporting and backup making this advanced retail management system incredible value for money.

We consider that having a local database at each shop is the only way to implement a robust retail system. Reliance on an external link to a database as many systems do is prone to failure and network congestion, which directly impacts speed and reliability of the till. The recent availability of high quality, low cost, open-source databases like Firebird means that this best practice approach is now within the reach of all retailers.
