Save
time, save money |
|
Many
tasks in retail are repetitive. Homeware Connect
takes away much of the tedious repetitive work such
as goods-in, shelf replenishment, re-ordering
standard lines, discounts, returns, cashing up,
customer contacts and even through managing to-do
lists for staff, no more sticky yellow notes! |
|
Homeware Connect links your shop floor to your
warehouse so that customer orders are seamlessly
tracked and managed. Your shop floor staff will know
what is in stock and your warehouse staff will be
right on top of customer orders.

Develop your business
through eCommerce |
|
Ecommerce is here to stay. Selling online is just
the beginning. For many consumers the purchasing
process has changed as research online is a
fundamental step. Homeware Connect allows you to tie
in to these new processes by having an online
presence that connects with your retail one.
Customers can browse online and see that products
are in store ready to touch and try out before
making the final purchase. Or customers can leave
the shop to make a final decision and buy online. |
|
Are
you doing any marketing?
If not you are missing out on wonderful
revenue generating opportunities. Homeware Connect
will become your marketing engine to drive customer
loyalty and increase customer lifetime spend.

Reporting |
|
Do you
know your shops average transaction? Employees
average transaction size? Do you track average
customer lifetime spend. By tracking these simple
indicators you can incentivise staff to increase
them. Create targets, motivate staff. |
|
Most
buying problems simply come from bad decisions. Bad
decisions come from having inadequate information
and/or time. Homeware Connect gives you up to
the minute information on how much profit you are
making from products and suppliers to make informed
accurate decisions quickly.

|
Save
money on your
stock holding |
|
The
most important asset in your business is often
stock. How confident are you that you have optimum
stock, i.e.
- Do you feel you are overstocked?
- Do you feel you are led by
suppliers?
- Are you buying quantities they
stipulate when they stipulate?
Homeware Connect not only gives you reports on
product and supplier performance, it also gives you
an interactive replenishment screen to expedite the
process whilst you maintain full control!

With
45% of the internet eCommerce market, eBay is a
significant channel in it's own right. The format is
ideal for selling old non-moving stock. Whilst many
retailers want to do this, the time it takes to do
it is restrictive. Now you can drop one or one
hundred products onto eBay in just a click.

Customer engagement |
|
Great
service keeps customers coming back. Do you know
what your customers like? What information do you
capture about them. How do you use what you know to
increase their loyalty and spend? Homeware Connect
allows you to track what your customers are spending
and the products they buy. You can run loyalty and
incentive promotions based on this. |
|
Homeware Connect supports mail order and telephone
ordering. It also offers kiosks to extend your shop
floor through a simple touch screen terminal.

Price
right for
improving profitability |
|
Flexibility is essential for competitive and
compelling pricing. Decisions need to be made
quickly and accurately.
Do you know the price elasticity of your store is,
i.e. how much you can increase and decrease pricing
without it impacting number of products sold? How
quickly can you create special offers, special event
pricing?
Homeware Connect has up to the minute accurate
information to help you make these key business
decisions and changing pricing from one to one
thousand products is a snip! |
