As all data is created and maintained in the standard Sage 300 ERP environment and synchronised to the POS till at store level, rapid rollout and return is easily achieved. From a central setup and design, each POS till can be configured in a matter of minutes and deployed countrywide. As each branch trades, information relating to stock, sales, credit limits and pricing is sent to and from the store to head office on a real time or scheduled basis. Retail management has never been so easy

Through the integration to Sage 300 ERP inventory and purchase orders, Sage Retail may be configured to utilise a centralised or de-centralised stock environment. Each retailer works differently but the ability to allow stores to generate purchase orders allows branches to maintain suitable levels and send purchase requests to head office for ordering. These orders can be accumulated at Head Office and consolidated onto one purchase order with the option to drop ship at branch level saving time and money. Other retailers look to centralise the function as the stock movement data is received from stores with Sage 300 ERP maintaining the optimum levels. This data is used in a seasonal or user defined purchasing model to ensure the stock projections are met based on historic sales, expected dates, quantity owing, minimum levels and projected required quantity moving forward. PO Projections is a Single screen for stock ordering and the allocation of stock per location allowing for automatic creation of Purchase Orders and Inter Branch Transfers with complete drill down to sales history per item per store.

Taking stock is traditionally a problematic and time-consuming but vital area for all retailers. Sage Retail stock take focuses on streamlining and simplifying the process by allowing multiple stock takes per branch with multiple counts per stock take and consolidation of these counts. Sage Retail Stock Take allows multiple users to count using hand held scanners and then automatically calculates variances between counts before sending the information back to Sage 300 ERP Inventory for authorisation of the quantity changes. The stock count extends through stock segments and location into capturing per bin and may be operated online or offline
