XpertMart
Releases New Retail Enterprise Management Software for Mac
April 11, 2008
ALBUQUERQUE,
NM - XpertMart announced today the release of a new version of
its Retail Enterprise Management software for Mac with an expanded
suite of features to help retailers optimize sales across multiple
channels and locations.
The new version of XpertMart's POS & Inventory Control software
allows users to run a chain of retail stores, manage wholesale
accounts as well as sell online. New features include the ability
to setup multiple price lists, customer discount groups, credit
limits and fulfill large orders from several different inventory
locations.
"Retailers looking to grow their business have often had
to resort to non-Mac solutions because the available POS software
didn't cover their needs," says XpertMart CEO Steve Searfoss.
"The new version of XpertMart gives growing retailers the
same kind of sophisticated tools their larger competitors are
using."
The new version includes an integrated Accounts Receivable module
where users can set credit limits for individual customers, apply
payments to specific invoices or the balance as a whole, add credits
and charges, generate Balance Statements and run Aging Reports.
Multiple price lists can be created in XpertMart so that different
stores, regions or store types can have their own price for the
same item. Customers can be assigned to special discount groups
to automatically receive discounts at the point of sale. These
discounts can be defined by department, line of merchandise or
apply across the board to all items.
"Even as more independent retailers have begun using Macs,
larger retail chains are predominantly still relying on other
platforms like Windows and Linux," says Searfoss. "We
intend to change that by offering a complete retail management
system that runs on Mac."
XpertMart's new Corporate Sales Order module acts as a clearinghouse
for large orders of merchandise from the web or wholesale accounts.
Users can specify which stores and warehouses will be used to
fulfill the order and prioritize the locations from which the
stock will be pulled. A Purchase Order can be automatically generated
for any merchandise not available at any inventory location in
the chain.
XpertMart also includes inventory optimization tools to set model
inventory levels for each SKU/store combination based on historic
sales trends. Using real data, users can set Min/Max parameters
and have the system automatically suggest transfer orders to move
merchandise from locations where it is not selling to locations
where it is understocked. XpertMart also generates Purchase Orders
to automatically replenish merchandise falling below its optimal
inventory level.
"Retailers with private labels who manufacture or source
their merchandise directly will find the new version of XpertMart
helps them stay ahead of their demand," says Searfoss.
The new version of XpertMart also includes a new set of features
to more effectively manage web store orders including emailing
a copy of the invoice to a customer directly from the invoicing
screen, generating a packing slip which can be emailed to a remote
warehouse and specifying an insured amount for shipping different
than the invoice total.
XpertMart has its own integrated ecommerce application and also
has a standard order import format that can be used to plug in
web stores created by third party developers, particularly if
they run on an SQL database. XpertMart also has a real-time interface
with the popular Yahoo Stores ecommerce platform.
"We give our users tremendous flexibility to find the ecommerce
platform that works best for them while still using XpertMart
as the inventory back-end they've come to rely on," says
Searfoss.
XpertMart runs on Leopard and runs natively on both PowerPC and
Intel processors.
