Caversham Tiles
Caversham Tiles, also trading as Wokingham Tiles and Altwood Tiles is an independent retailer of ceramic and porcelain wall and floor tiles. They import directly from factories in Spain and Italy and sell directly to the public at the best possible prices. They only import quality products from the most reputable suppliers and pride themselves on their selection and service.
Caversham Tiles have been using the Trackit system since 2004. Each of their three shops have two tills, plus Head Office PCs networked together. The system handles the complete sales and stock control functions, plus the purchase ordering of all the floor and tile products, all operating on a real time basis.
One of the Trackit innovations introduced to handle the tile trade was an automatic pricing and square metre calculation which printed A5 labels showing shop name, range, primary and secondary items, delivery and material.
Mainline Menswear
Talking to other e-tailers, the Mainline Menswear web site is widely regarded as the the most successful in the country, and the one to aspire to. What is often not known is that it is powered by e-trackit, with all the product information held within the Stock module, uploaded and updated as sales are made.
Mainline also operate two shops in Scarborough, together with a substantial warehouse, so it is vital that, in the market of designer clothes, stock levels are accurate, and shortages are minimised.
The e-trackit system was installed in 2006, and was one of the first web sites to be fully integrated with our software, and continues to help Mainline as they grow their sales.
Rightway
Rightway DIY first started using Trackit in 2001 when they had 6 DIY shops. Now they have 17 retail outlets across North Wales and the Wirral providing full stock control and epos requirements. They operate without the need (and cost) of a central warehouse, each shop having full access to stock levels, reordering (using min/max levels) and transfers between shops.
Trackit has opened up a whole new world of control and information to Rightway DIY. Information is produced very quickly at the touch of a button giving such reports as each site performance, profit margins and individual product performance.
This allows for appropriate and creative decision making to maximise on market opportunities, and offers a measure of control that was unattainable before.
Now the plan for 2012 is to have a fully functioning website and Rightway have engaged a local web company to manage this. it will be based on the Magento shopping cart software, and will seamlessly integrate with e-Trackit, providing product and live stock level updates and the download of orders.
TennisNuts
AMT Sports is a specialist sports retailer operating in London. They specialise in tennis, badminton and squash equipment as well as sports clothing. The business runs two retail shops in London and an e-commerce websites called www.tennisnuts.com The business has been in existence for 25 years and decided to install Trackit 7 years ago to enhance their stock management and provide a platform from which to expand.
The business now relies heavily on the detailed information provided by the e-Trackit EPOS systems. In 2008 they opened a purpose built warehouse to handle the growing sales, and house the increased mail order and web activity. They have successfully integrated their shops, mail order operation and the website which allows them to replenish stock efficiently and know at any one time where the stock is, thus easing overnight transfers between locations when necessary.
This has led to enhanced customer service levels and more repeat business whilst also increasing efficiency by taking the human checking process out of the equation.”e-Trackit is so critical to us in running our business. It enables us to operate a tight ship and focus on delivering an exceptional quality of service to customers who return again and again”.
