Procurement for Retail
In retail, having store, e-commerce and wholesale channels meet in a single stock pool requires functions to work with accurate, real-time, channel-agnostic data. Smart sourcing and efficient process management. From purchase requisition to quote and order, from quality policies to inventory and finance integration — digitize your supply chain end to end and lower your costs.
Retail context
Why Procurement works differently in Retail
In Retail, omnichannel retail center on sector-specific concepts such as SKU management, store-e-commerce-wholesale channel, price and campaign. In retail, having store, e-commerce and wholesale channels meet in a single stock pool requires functions to work with accurate, real-time, channel-agnostic data.
Qera ERP's Procurement module is set up around the reality of retail: Manages supply by sales velocity and campaign plan to reduce shelf gaps and overstock.
- When store, online and wholesale stock is kept separately, the same product sells out in one place while sitting idle in another.
- When campaigns, discounts and price changes are updated by hand across channels, inconsistency and errors appear.
- When customer purchase history is scattered, loyalty and repeat-sale opportunities are missed.
