We are delighted to announce that Caliq have formally agreed an integration partnership with Nottingham based CSY Retail Systems, a leading developer and provider of EPOS solutions for retail stores and showrooms.
Caliq already caters for multiple sales channels, including e-commerce and mobile tablet sales systems used by reps on the road and at exhibitions. Adding the CSY EPOS product set to the system means that Caliq clients who already have retail outlets or are considering it as an option, can implement an integrated and highly functional EPOS system, already in use in the giftware market, and crucially that it will share common data with their whole business across all channels.
The CSY System caters for common challenges faced in this market. For example, retail customers may buy goods in a shop, taking some away with them, larger items may require home delivery and yet more may need to be collected or delivered from another branch. Not only is this all catered for, but the tight integration with Caliq will ensure that stock quantities, locations and availability (now or in the future) will be accurately controlled, thus ensuring maximum sales and customer satisfaction.
Ross Pierrepont, Managing Director of CSY, has summed up the partnership well. “When we met Caliq to review our respective systems, the synergy was obvious to us all. Not only do the two systems fit this sector, both our companies share the same philosophy and ‘can do’ attitude that ensures we can individually or jointly deliver the best possible solutions for multi-channel distributors and retailers in this sector.”
Joint projects are already in the planning stage and Caliq / CSY will be exhibiting on adjacent stands at the Spring Fair at the NEC in Birmingham, in February 2018.
This provides enormous benefits when it comes to customer service, as well as a plethora of information for internal and external sales staff and managers. What each person sees is fully configurable, meaning sales reps would only see information pertaining to their customers, whereas area managers can view data for each individual reporting to them, or for their whole area.
We are delighted to announce that The APAC Group have signed a contract for the implementation of Caliq. APAC are one of the leading importers and distributors of floristry, horticultural, party and wedding products in the UK. Founded in the 1970s, as a small nursery, the company has expanded and is now selling a – read more…
