“In the past, sales and stock data from retail stores were manually imported into Sage 300cloud, requiring great manual effort. Now the process is essentially integrated and automated, leading to material savings in time and improving the accuracy in a process which provides a major advantage to the management team. This has been achieved by providing access to information on sales and stock performance by store, by region, on a weekly basis, including margin analysis”.
