Aquascutum selects new management and EPoS system

Inventor of the classic Trench Coat selects new retail IT systems to integrate with wholesale, store concession and online operations Luxury clothing brand Aquascutum, famous for inventing the first waterproof fabric and designing the trench coat, has selected new retail management and electronic point-of-sale (EPoS) software from specialist provider Eurostop. Aquascutum changed their business systems after they were sold by the Jaeger Group and will use the Eurostop management and EPoS systems for its six standalone stores, its concessions in John Lewis and House of Fraser and for managing stock for its online store. Speedy integration requirements Bob Gurney, IT consultant at Aquascutum, said: “We needed an off-the-shelf package that we could implement quickly and easily and that would integrate with our STYLEman product development and wholesale system. Eurostop has a good reputation within the market and were able to provide us with a system that matched our immediate requirements and had the ability to support future growth.” The Eurostop retail systems are integrated with both the STYLEman wholesale management system and the retailer’s e-commerce system. This ensures that Aquascutum can manage all their business processes for the different channels within Eurostop. The live sales and stocks give accurate visibility of branch performance and merchandisers can quickly react to market trends. Adding reporting capabilities Aquascutum will also be using Eurostop eCubes data mining and reporting facility. The e-cubes are a reporting tool that will allow the head office team at Aquascutum to interrogate operational system data and compile bespoke reports, including weekly sales, stock and intake (WSSI). Phillip Moylan, sales and marketing manager at Eurostop, addded: “We strive to ensure that our system is quick to deploy and easy to use, enabling new shops to be up and trading fast. This is a key consideration, as Aquascutum has opened a new store on Great Marlborough Street and is looking for other store locations to expand its retail presence in the near future.” http://www.retailtechnology.co.uk/news/5151/aquascutum-selects-new-management-and-epos-system/

Singaporean ladies’ shoe designer invests in ambitious international growth plans

Singaporean ladies’ shoe designer invests in latest technology to support ambitious international growth plans Singaporean ladies’ shoe designer Pazzion has selected Eurostop’s retail management solution to support the company’s ambitious growth plans.  The trend-setting footwear retailer is using e-rmis for its head office system in Singapore and e-pos to support stock control and merchandising across the company’s eight stores in Singapore located at some of the most prestigious retail destinations on the island.  Both systems link seamlessly together to create a highly efficient retail management framework that boosts productivity and ultimately improves customer service. In just twelve years since being founded in 2001, Pazzion has established a far-reaching international presence with operations in Brunei, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam.   As the company grew, it took the decision to introduce an automated approach and set out to find a specialist retail solution that could support an increasingly diverse customer base, multiple languages as well as different countries and time zones. After evaluating several vendors, Pazzion selected Eurostop. According to the Merchandising Team at Pazzion, Eurostop matched the company’s requirements perfectly, providing a fully automated, highly intelligent system to facilitate stock control processes.  Another deciding factor was Eurostop’s proven track record in the global clothing and footwear arena whilst their network of newly opened offices in Asia served to underline their dedicated support and commitment to the region. One of the greatest benefits of using Eurostop is the advanced reporting capabilities provided by the system.  Eurostop captures accurate sales data which Pazzion can then translate into meaningful statistics that improve strategic decision-making and aid forward planning. Harris Muk, Sales Manager at Eurostop concluded, “By tapping into the sales data reports produced by Eurostop, dynamic retailers such as Pazzion can quickly identify which products are the hot sellers in different stores.  This means they can deliver highly targeted and impactful promotional campaigns that actively drive new revenues.  The sheer flexibility of Eurostop is extremely powerful, giving Pazzion the high degree of scalability they need to extend their geographic footprint even further.”
