BURKE MARINE Installs iVend For Reliable End-To-End Retail Management Solution

December 12, 2011 by Leave a Comment

COMPANY : BURKE MARINE

COUNTRY : Australia

INDUSTRY : Speciality Textiles

Burke Marine, founded by Martin Burke on the shores of Sydney Harbour in 1971, Burke Marine has dominated the Australian and New Zealand Marine &  sail market for the last 40 years. Combining a wealth of boating experience with a vast knowledge of textile manufacturing, the family-run company has been one of Australia’s most respected and dynamic marine brands.

Challenge

Burke Marine owns a chain of stores spread over Australia and New Zealand. The company with its growing operations was unable to effectively and efficiently manage its store operations due to disparate and unstable systems, which meant they suffered from a lack of data consistency and reliability. With such disparate systems in place Burke Marine were unable to gain a complete view of their sales, inventory and store profitability, mainly due to it not being available. The manual checking of such key information became increasingly difficult to manage on an ongoing basis and was failing to provide upper management with key data to enable them to make important business decisions.

The existing system was unable to meet the local legislative demands of an Australian retailer and hence was inefficient and unable to streamline their store operations. Burke Marine needed a reliable system that could manage the end to end retail functions from Point of Sale (POS) to Head office integration along with inventory optimisation. The new system had to be scalable and therefore grow with the business and it had to provide flexibility in reporting while also giving upper management a holistic view on all aspects of the retail business.

  • Required a retail management solution that was fully integrated to SAP Business One
  • Improve their consumer centric approach to gain an edge
  • Focused approach for improved employee productivity

 Solution : iVend Retail with SAP Business One

 Benefits :

  • An end to end integrated application from POS to Head office with accuracy and transparency through iVend Retail
  • Enhanced Channel visibility- Sale & purchase
  • Effective gift card and Lay-By management has enabled our business to achieve improved customer loyalty and retention
  • Intuitive solution, scalable to meet the future growth of 360 degree view of different divisions, revenue, costs and inventory valuation in real-time

“Our staff have commented on how easy the iVend system was to learn and to operate – it has helped to alleviate the “human errors” that we have had experienced in the past. Good features in iVend are the ability to easily look at other store and main warehouse stock levels in real time, integrated eftpos has been great, gift voucher processing is easy and transparent and we have now just implemented Lay-By.”

Approval of FDI for Multi-brand Retail in India – A big Leap ahead

November 28, 2011 by Leave a Comment

The recent approval for opening up the retail sector for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India is expected to give a boost to Indian retail sector and shall bring ample business opportunities for small and medium business. CitiXsys is overwhelmed with the decision as it’s a tremendous leap forward in Multi brand retail business and allows large chains such as Walmart, Tesco and Carrefour make a global footprint in Indian Retail segment.

The current disinvestment opportunity will offer wider choice with better quality to consumers and bring in more business opportunities for SMEs. With large investments expected in this sector, global retailers shall be interested to explore the Indian manufacturing base more, once they are allowed to set up local operations here.

Multi-brand retail with 51 per cent ownership will change the game completely and make the market more competitive, it shall also reduce wastage and reduce distress sales for farmers involved in fruit & vegetable cultivation; that is expected to give a definitive surge for Indian economy. The organized retail is expected to increase affordability for consumers. The quality of products is expected to improve with greater transparency and easier monitoring of adulteration. The organized sector will redefine India’s supply chain infrastructure and bring down the prices, and the consumers shall gain from the same.

“Indian retail shall see a serious competition between the organized retail and traditional unorganized mom-and-pop shops, it will increase their effort to enhance their customer proposition through adoption of innovative ways. These steps  may vary from adding new product lines, brands, better display, renovation of the store, introduction of self service, enhanced home delivery, more credit sales, acceptance of credit cards, etc.” said Mr. Kamal Karmakar, CEO, CitiXsys Technologies Ltd. He further added ” for Retail Management & Integrated Retail Solutions CitiXsys has a Suite of Applications for business owners, hence we also see it as a welcome business opportunity for us in India.”

iVend retail integrates with Biometric Fingerprint IDs: Futuristic view to Retail Point of Sale Security

November 4, 2011 by 3 Comments

Transformation of retail POS has been tremendous over the past decade. Despite transactional complexities & other glitches: Security, safe transactions, accountability & accuracy have been dominant concerns for global retailers since theft losses continue to mount each year.

Safeguarding customer information is not the only concern among global retailers, currently they struggle to protect their sensitive business information including their costs, sales numbers, profit margins, etc. A corrupt, fraudulent employee or deceitful hacker can prove to be a financial disaster that can reoccur.
One password theft makes a retail POS security fragile & vulnerable to attack. Access of an intruder inside the retail system can lead to a data theft, cash register manipulation, inventory mismanagement and a number of other damaging actions. These can shatter the entire system, because in case of a password hack or theft, tracking the exact point of responsibility is next to impossible.

To address these concerns the latest version of iVend Retail, a leading Retail management solution integrates with leading fingerprint biometric DigitalPersona to enable retailers to quickly and securely identify users when performing tasks or accessing applications and records. As per data released by the National Retail Federation (NRF), nationwide employee theft topped $19B in 2006 and the amount is increasing each year. Biometric security integrated with retail management software is a suave way to combat such threats. The fingerprint reader solution easily integrates into POS systems so businesses can reduce fraud, ease tracking, lower IT costs and enhance efficiency.

How does iVend Retail Biometric Fingerprint Readers Work?

iVend Retail solution integrates itself with DigitalPersona, biometric fingerprint reader so when an employee logs into the retail POS system, instead of punching in his id & password, he simply scans his thumb or finger on the biometric fingerprint reader. The scan of his fingers is pre-stored in the HO database, hence the POS searches the preregistered database for identification, so any time the employee attempts to access a password-protected area of the retail point of sale software, he is required to scan his finger. Furthermore iVend system ensures that fingerprint scan is mandatory for access making id and password access secondary. The fingerprint reader can give instant access to a cash register, reducing the login time considerably & increases employee accountability that avert financial losses & data thefts

Benefits of iVend Retail Biometric Fingerprint solution-

Implementation of biometrics in a retail business can give an unmatched sense of Security & added peace of mind. Simple benefits of the system are-

  • Precise Employee Accountability
  • Confirmed Audit Trails
  • Data Protection
  • Stealth Security
  • Improved Compliance
  • High-Risk employee identification
  • Prevent Unauthorized Access
  • Protected Access Control
  • Actionable Role-Based Security
