Furniture Software for Chain Stores Multiple Location Stores
If your business operates as 1 entity, you and all your locations share inventory you can most likely operate in 1 GROW version of the EZ Process Pro system which allows for multiple sales locations to operate in the same system. If however, each of your locations is stand alone, doesn’t share inventory or has separate owners then you would benefit from our Chain / Franchise version of the EZ Process Pro Fused Commerce system. This system is designed to streamline the setup, communication, and product management between multiple unrelated entities without them piercing the veil that keeps them separate businesses.
Setting up and managing a multi-location chain is effortless with the EZ Process Pro Franchise Software. EZ Process Pro has a web-based front and back-office management suite developed specifically for multi-unit entities that want to keep their operations completely separate. The applications and modules built into the chain-store version of our software allow for seamless communication and integration between a centralized distribution entity and each separate retail store. Containing modules specifically designed to allow easy setup and integration of companies that work in an environment of this nature environment, EZ Process Pro offers chain stores and multiple entities that share a common operating strategy and name a huge advantage.
Our process guarantees that the minute a new retail store opens its doors, a completely set-up and fully populated software will already be in place for them.
Here's how it works
If there is a distribution entity that buys for all the retail stores, then the distribution entity purchases the distribution version of the Ez Process Pro software system. Then a single retailer’s system will be purchased and set up. They will then set up all their settings including commission / spiff structures, payroll criteria, product pricing structures, and receipt layout. From this information EZ Process Pro creates a retail system and populates it using the standards set in the distribution version for product.
A universal module is then put into place allowing for the centralized maintenance that will manage all the retail systems along with their own distribution system from one central access point. From the universal product listings, prices, and other pertinent settings can be maintained for all systems at one time. Also, through the universal module a maintaining party is granted access access to pertinent sales and accounting reports allowing them to analyze and manage the productivity of each retail system.
The data access and the distribution connection are at the discretion of the business model and can be turned off if the environment is simply stand alone retailers that use the same name for marketing purposes but have no centralized distribution or management.
Every time a new store is opened EZ Process Pro creates a carbon copy of the original retail system, therefore allowing the retailer to begin using their new system which has already been set up for them the day they open their doors for business. Being a web-based application also means that the retailers do not have to purchase or set up expensive servers, networks, or backup systems. EZ Process Pro takes care of everything for them. By eliminating the setup process and automating much of the back-office operations (often required with other systems), EZ Process Pro allows the retailers to eliminate data entry time and money and instead focus on what is most important to the franchisor… Turning a Profit.
When a Chain Store or Franchise purchases the EZ Process Pro system, there are many different environments available.
Challenge
With multiple owners or entities that operate separately from each other, it can become cumbersome to create and follow identical processes and procedures which are imperative for analytics and long-term growth. Likewise, the effort to maintain multiple systems while trying to ensure consistency on product data, costs, and policies can be cumbersome if they are all on different systems.
Solution
EZ Process Pro will provide you with a solution that allows you to set up each system using a copy system that shares policy settings, processes and products into each system. The settings, processes, products, and pricing will already be in place. If they happen to buy a product from you also then your system will communicate with theirs to automate product updates, cost changes, and streamline the ordering process. Therefore, providing ultimate visibility and automation between your system inventory ordering and shipping.
Challenge
Without good processes, it is hard to stay on top of your inventory, and have your sales people sell what you have in stock. This will result in you running out of space in your warehouse, and leave you with a ton of money tied up in your warehouse.
Solution
Use the in stock catalog to push your sales people to sell what you have in In Stock and Available. The customer will get delivered faster. You don't have to order more furniture, and your sales people can get their commission sooner. Everyone wins!
