to track inventory in real-time as they
originally envisioned, plus much more.
Tailored for tobacco stores, the system
comes preconfigured with thousands and
thousands of channel-appropriate SKUs,
which saves the store management from
having to enter them all manually. “If
they’re using another system, they can
also transfer that information into our
database,” adds Nolan.
Once the system is in place, items are
scanned at the register and inventory
levels automatically adjusted as sales are
made.Owners and managers can see at a
glance where they stand on stock levels
and use handheld wireless devices to log
in purchase orders on receipt, spot-check
inventory, and generate purchase orders
that will keep them in stock without the
expense of carrying surplus inventory.
In fact, retailers can check inventory
levels anytime, even during store hours,
“Tailored

stores, the
system comes
preconfigured
with thousands

of channel-
appropriate
SKUs.”
