Retail

Real-time visibility of your retail business operations enables you to forecast, manage, and respond more profitably

Do you have the right product and quantity? What's selling and why? What new products are in demand? Don't let your existing technology stand between you and profits. Software AG helps you break down the barriers so you can get closer to your customer and closer to your cost-efficiency goals.
 

Achieve business results faster with Software AG

Improve efficiency with real-time decision-making for store integration - Our webMethods product suite gives you capabilities for demand sensing and real-time response to streamline your supply chain and reduce labor costs. Optimize profit by preventing out-of-stocks and overstocks - You’ll receive demand signals initiated at the point of sale in each store, and can automatically pass that data to suppliers (trading partners) across the Internet. Detect and react to changes in demand to optimize your inventory levels. Make faster and more accurate decisions - Our Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) captures demand signals and correlates them in real time against your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) allowing you to make profitable decisions. Get greater ROI from your current supply-chain investments - Your supply chain applications are inefficient without accurate, consistent product and sales information. We eliminate data inconsistencies so that all systems, and trading partners, are literally “on the same page.” Improve cost efficiency of business operations - We provide a single platform that spans all of your B2B systems, information and communications. You'll see real-time statistics on how your overall operations are running, and immediately detect and correct stuck orders and service level problems. Leverage your existing IT assets with SOA-based integration - Integrate your internal and external systems, and convert your existing IT assets into components that can be re-used again and again -- all without a drain on your IT resources.

Our Retail solutions utilizes the Software AG Business Infrastructure Suite, enabling organizations to achieve business results – faster. Learn More.
