A selection of our customers
Discover how a selection of other merchants, hardware stores and wholesalers benefit from our Trader retail management software
We have 6,000 product lines and ensuring that pricing was kept up to date and our margins were protected was a challenge. With Trader, we are now able to deliver consistent pricing and efficient service while protecting our margins.
As a busy hardware merchant, it is crucial to be able to quickly process customer payments and check stock availability. Collectively the supply of information has increased by 20% in the new version of Trader which has helped us to gain better visibility of the business.
This year alone the business has grown by more than 50%. Margin had definitely increased as a result of using Trader. Visibility of cost prices at point of sale and consistent contract pricing helps to ensure that we sell at the best margins possible.
Bar-coding means that stock records are 100% accurate – even down to product variations such as size and colour.
Business Manager
We rely heavily on the labelling of every product and carry out regular cycle counts on a daily basis to manage our stock levels across two sites. A key feature within Trader is the ability to use wireless scanners for this purpose, allowing products to be quickly scanned, centrally managing stock levels in both sites.
Before running Trader we were using a combination of paper-based order books and spreadsheets to record sales. We now benefit from a fast, user friendly point of sale system which provides us with valuable day to day reports.
“With Trader, all of your creditors, debtors, stock control and promotions are all in one place. Plus on the point of sale side you can very easily go back and forth between screens to add discounts or amend a price which makes life easier when processing sales.
