Buying and Purchasing CRM

Only 7 merchandising and buying staff were needed to manage the extra volume of work a doubling in store growth created and only one extra person will be needed for the next 25% growth,

With Futura you can quickly see product performance, profitability and current stock levels in real time and, importantly, what customers are not buying. By comparing sales with previous years', you can establish trends to determine real price elasticity and to forecast future buying patterns. CRM at its most powerful!

Optimal stock control

Futura works by continually calculating an optimal target stock figure which can be used in automated processes to simplify purchase ordering and replenishments by suggesting actions to give you ultimate control over your operations. Sophisticated "what if" functionality allows you to see the effects of buying one range over another so you can avoid over-ordering unpopular items including fringe sizes, it also suggests inter-branch transfers before unnecessary auto-replenishing.

Futura is very easy to use too. If you wish, you can access Futura from trade shows to produce purchase orders immediately and stay up to date and within budget. Our multiple "open to buy" options can help you make future buying decisions, as you can quickly see if you are within budget and turnover, or whether you need to buy more or pull back, so you easily achieve really tight control.

We use "what if" functionality to see the effects of buying one range over another and achieved 9.8% gross profit margin increases in a number of departments, with an overall increase of 4%,
