Exclusive children’s wear retailer invests in cloud-based retail management systems to support website sales and its international stores
Marie-Chantal has chosen Eurostop to provide a centralised and integrated retail management system.
The exclusive independent children’s clothing retailer will use the head office-based retail management system, e-rmis, which uses live sales and stock, integrated to its e-commerce and electronic point of sale (EPoS).
Ben Watts, Marie-Chantal financial director, said: “Eurostop provided us with the solution that we needed to link our stores and website sales systems, which our previous system couldn’t support.
Capital expenditure reduction
"We also chose to have the cloud-based system hosted by Eurostop to remove the need to invest in costly hardware and to enable access and support internationally.
“We expect significant cost savings as a result of being able to manage our stock more efficiently and to have more accurate sales records across our many different product lines. Our investment in Eurostop also supports our intention to grow the business when we open two additional international stores by the end of the year.”
Marie-Chantal operates two stores in London and one in Hawaii that sell its designs for newborns and children up to 12 years old.
