MYOB at the forefront of fashion
Leading business solution provider MYOB has once again proven it is able to strut its stuff with the very best
designers, through this season's launch of the very latest in flexible retail management solutions – an advanced
software system capable of following even the most up-to-date trends and fashions.
This feature upgrade of MYOB RetailManager is a significant breakthrough for the retail sector, according to MYOB Retail
Business manager Ric Horsfall.
"Our latest MYOB RetailManager release incorporates a comprehensive point-of-sale package with a smart inventory
management system, capable of providing critical information when it is needed most."
"MYOB RetailManager streamlines all sales and stock operations enabling up-to-date efficient and effective monitoring of
all aspects of the product mix such as style, colour or size, in any retail market."
Mr Horsfall says that while this MYOB RetailManager update is expected to be hugely popular with fashion outlets this
package is also ideal for sporting goods, stationary, paint and homeware supply retailers, and just about any other
retail outlet.
The fashion sector is the largest in New Zealand, making up over 20% of the total retail industry. Ric Horsfall says the
development of MYOB RetailManager is in direct response to customer requests, followed by extensive market research.
"The MYOB RetailManager package is designed to make a broad range of information readily accessible", Ric Horsfall says.
"We have spent two years developing and modifying this product in order to meet the evolving demands of the modern
retail industry. RetailManager is a user-friendly, full-value product that also incorporates MYOB's consistent support
and integrated product development capabilities."
MYOB currently provides software solutions to over 50% of businesses that utilise software systems and is a leading
global provider of software - investing over 13 million dollars annually in development and research.
The updated MYOB RetailManager is the latest extension of the MYOB portfolio. "With the advanced point-of-sale solution
MYOB RetailManager, our two newest retail solutions, MYOB RetailBasics and RetailReady, the multi-store MYOB
RetailEnterprise, our recently released solution for the local hospitality industry, MYOB RetailHospitality, and MYOB's
accounting and payroll products, we now supply everything New Zealand retailers need to make their businesses more
effective."
