Harveys Cut Costs With Integrated In-store Printing

May 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Harveys Furnishing Group, the largest furniture specialist in the UK has reduced costs and are able to implement price changes in minutes. Harveys have achieved this by upgrading to the latest version of net tickIT from Pierhouse.

As a long standing Pierhouse customer they were confident that the upgrade would be implemented on time and with minimum disruption. The new system went live just before Christmas, since then more than 290,000 tickets and POS items have been produced in their 150 stores.

Net tickIT has been configured so the data within the pricing ticketing system is fully synched with the EPOS system and allows dynamic management of prices as Harveys move between promotions.

Helen Vinken, marketing director Harveys, said, “We wanted to respond quicker to changes in sales and competitive activity. The net tickIT upgrade means real time prices changes in-store instead of needing up to two weeks to change and print tickets centrally.”

Vinken continued, “Key requirements for the move were a further reduction in cost and increased service at store level. We have noticed a marked improvement in our in-store ticketing since Christmas.”

Geoff Clifton, business development director Pierhouse, comments, “Migrating to net tickIT version 6 has enabled Harveys to ensure prices and offers are shown consistently across all stores in minutes from execution from Head Office. If price changes are required intra-campaign or in response to a competitor’s actions Head Office can send the changes to stores immediately.”
