34-Store Chain Grows 10 Percent Annually with the Help of a New Retail and Financial Solution.
Customer Profile
Started by mother and daughter in 1980, Peekay, Inc. has grown to 34 locations selling couples’ romantic products from well-appointed stores.
Business Situation
A decade-old point-of-sale system, hard-to-match hardware components, and inadequate financial software slowed expansion. Further, finding people who knew how to use the proprietary database software the company used was difficult.
Solution
A three-store test of Microsoft Dynamics™ Retail Management System proved successful, opening the door to a comprehensive solution that included Microsoft Dynamics GP and Retail Analytics and Merchandise Planning (RAMP) from Professional Advantage.
Benefits
Management gained time and new tools to open or remodel new stores annually.
Business-based purchasing rapidly and accurately replenishes shelves.
Quick staff training, thanks to logical POS screens and familiar user interface.
RITE Gift add-on replaced expensive gift-card provider.
Restructuring SKUs and rethinking processes opened gates to growth.
