Board is already well established in the retail sector and boasts clients such as Puma, Salomon, Miss Sixty, Mackays Stores and Charlotte Russe.
Integration of Board functionality within Merret is now taking place. All new Merret packaged MIS reporting will be performed via the Board system and existing reports will be transferred over time.
The new capability will be branded as Merret BI and will provide a snapshot of business performance using metrics such as sales, stock, orders, margins, product mix, and variance to periods, plans and forecasts within a number of territories, channels and attribute views.
Continues Nigel Illingworth: “An integrated Business Intelligence capability of this degree of sophistication adds greatly to Merret's competitive advantage.
The arsenal of reports that we can offer extends to extracting data from the many applications that a retailer may be using. Merret BI can go beyond supply chain reporting to produce a universal view of the business.”
Concludes Alan Morris, Managing Director at Retail Assist: “Our aspirations are clear. By combining our retail expertise with Board's functional expertise, we have an impressive offering that enables us to provide a 'one stop shop' when it comes to BI implementations and upgrades.
We will also be able to demonstrate a clear dividing line between Merret and other supply chain solutions in relation to integrated MIS and BI reporting functionality.”
