Episys Client Boards attended by leading retailers
Episys recently held Client Boards in Atlanta GA and Chicago IL. The events were attended by leading retailers who heard about the latest innovations in retail signage and mobile solutions. There were also opportunities to hear case studies from several of Episys’ clients as well as live demonstrations of Episys solutions.
The attendees were asked to provide feedback to the Episys team and this clearly indicated that the events had been informative and thought provoking.
Episys' retail clients include, in the US, Belk, Bon-Ton, Federated Department Stores, Home Depot, Ingles, Saks Inc. and Sears Holdings Corporation, and in the UK, B&Q (the largest home improvement and garden center retailer in Europe), Comet (the 2nd largest electrical retailer in the UK), John Lewis Partnership (the UK's largest department store group) and Sainsbury's (the 2nd largest supermarket retailer in the UK).
With the theme of the Episys Client Board being 'Harnessing Technology To Deliver Real Business Benefits', the events focused on improving customer service and sales, reducing costs and minimizing inefficiencies. To meet these goals, Episys has developed its Retail Enterprise Suite™ solution that combines precise promotional messaging with mobile applications. This advanced, modular and integrated system removes the need for multiple discrete systems to deliver promotional content to:
- Paper signage
- Catalogues
- Web sites
- Electronic signage
- Multimedia devices
By maintaining one version of the data and driving all media devices from a single point to support integrated promotion channels, Retail Enterprise Suite™ eliminates data redundancy and re-keying of data, and ensures the integrity and accuracy of your promotional messages. With the emergence of electronic signage as a viable promotional tool, the benefits and opportunities that have arisen from customer trials were also presented at the meeting.
In addition, Retail Enterprise Suite™ provides many mobile handheld terminal applications to gain sales uplift, improve and differentiate your customer service and to make stores more efficient.
Applications include:
- Mobile register transactions
- Product enquiries for in-store stock availability and alternative size/color
- Creating pick lists
- Replacing missing or damaged signs
- Ordering
- Price checking
