Demand Chain Services
The Problem
With the complexity of operating point-of-sale, merchandising, and warehousing applications, which need to be integrated with supply chain and accounting systems, it’s no wonder Signal Creek’s experience is valued by partners and their customers.
Many retailers employ a remarkable diversity of IT systems to satisfy their retail business requirements. In many cases, each discrete application runs on a different operating system, and is on a different maintenance schedule. Compounding this complexity, many retailers operate different point-of-sale systems as the result of variations in their retail environments or as the result of acquisitions.
The Solution
Signal Creek’s Expert Services team has worked with retailers that have hundreds of stores and a rich variety of demand chain applications. Our consultants can help with planning, design, implementation and support for demand chain systems, including:
- Manage the lifecycle of each retail system, so that upgrades and routine maintenance aren’t disruptive to other systems, or to day-to-day retail operations.
- Consolidation of demand chain systems to increase manageability, decrease staff burden, and ‘end of life’ dated systems.
Signal Creek has experience with a range of demand chain systems, including:
- AS400 POS
- Supply Chain
- Merchandising
- Accounting
- Warehousing
The Result
Increased manageability for demand chain systems reduces the time, cost and hassle associated with maintaining and supporting each system. Centralized management also increases the efficiency of new retail deployments, and let’s retail staff focus on the customer, not the system.
