Thursford Collection family theme park invests in new retail management systems for its five themed shops

Thursford Collection visitor centre in Thursford near Norfolk has chosen Eurostop systems to manage stock and sales in its five stores.

The centre has five themed shops, The Corner Shop selling a range of ladies and children’s fashion and toiletries; The Christmas Shop for toys and decorations; The Stable Shop selling cards, books and pictures; The Pantry, a sweet shop; and Fantasyland, stocking a range of items.

Thursford have selected Eurostop’s e?rmis management and e-pos till systems to enable its managers to oversee the wide range of stock and for its Microsoft Windows-based interface.

New IT manages stock growth

Geraldine Rye, Thursford general manager, said: “The success of our Thursford Collection retail outlets over the last few years has meant a huge increase in the number of stock items that we sell. We chose Eurostop as the best supplier to meet our needs now and to be flexible enough to develop in the future – the e-commerce feature is something that we may consider for our website.

“We have seen an increase in demand for our Christmas range in particular and using Eurostop’s systems will enable us to improve management of our stock and consequently improve our profit margins.”

Thursford is planning to use the e-rmis head office system to handle its wide stock inventory, enabling it to manage and re-order both the continuity and seasonal merchandise required across the different shops.
