APet was a floundering pet supply business when Roy Wood
first bought the two stores a few years ago. After an
unsuccessful trial of a local company's software package to
fix APet's inventory troubles, Wood bought Microsoft Retail
Management System. Unlike the company's former software,
Microsoft Retail Management System worked from the beginning
and it has played a big role in keeping APet thriving and
growing.
Some of the benefits that APet realized with Microsoft
Retail Management System include:
|
: |
Greater inventory efficiency and reliability. APet saves
about 24 hours per week, or roughly $10,000 US per year. |
|
: |
Improved customer service. When a customer purchases
an item, the system flashes a note to the cashier
who passes along targeted advice. |
|
: |
More efficient marketing. Tightly focused campaigns
gives APet better results at a lower cost. |
