A fully integrated retail system, PROFIT is a complete integrated solution developed for retailers based on the actual dynamics of the merchandising cycle. It provides comprehensive end-to-end business process, opportunity management, performance reporting and decision support to retail management.

Critical areas covered by the system include:

• Planning
• Buying
• Receiving
• Invoice matching
• Ticketing
• Warehousing
• Distribution
• Inventory
• Stock taking
• Cash and sales processing
• Customer relationship management
• E-commerce and exception reporting

As critical sourcing, ranging and buying decisions are based on up-to-the-minute relevant and instantly accessible information, PROFIT allows the user to view extensive product information, access pricing and stock information quickly and comprehensively.

The system also provides support for the handling of perishables, consignment/concessionaires, bakery, CMT and landed cost calculation for overseas purchases. It supports multi-lingual requests, and adopts an open interface to support leading POS software, barcode printers, weighing scales and financial systems. This helps businesses retain investments in existing platforms and applications and to cost effectively upgrade as the business grows.

Profit can work as a centralized application or as a mix-and-match hybrid of centralized and distributed applications. As a distributed application, PROFIT collects data from remote locations without compromising the system's integrity. Individual stores, distribution centers and regional offices are in the loop.

It accepts data from any point-of-sales systems and feeds back information pertinent to store operations, buying, receiving, ticketing and inventory management. It also incorporates data validation at the point of data gathering. PROFIT collects every relevant transaction, summarizes it for reporting and analysis purposes and leaves a full audit trail of individual transactions.
