Shop, Web, Mail Order: Singly the best way to do it

Running your multichannel retail business really couldn't be easier. With a single stock system, single customer database, single re-ordering and single reporting you only do things once. Connect makes sense because everything is in one place no matter where your customer buys.

Stock control: one stock > multiple retail channels

What happens on your website when you sell the last item in the shop? How do you manage stock across multiple retail channels? Well, with Connect you have automatic stock control. So when the last item in the shop is sold, your website says "out of stock" - no need to let a customer down again (or run in a mad panic trying to source an item last minute)!

Back End Processes: Pick, Pack and Dispatch, its gone!

Because Connect is designed for retailers, online sales are sent to the till (or back office). With a few minutes spare anyone can select a web order from the to do list and press the Pick, Pack and Dispatch buttons. Connect prints out the address documents and its off to the post. The professional way to run a multichannel business, keeps you always in control.

Architecture: Connect has no equal

Connect multichannel retail architecture is second to none. A database with all your stock, customer and sales information is on every till and back office computer. Each one is connected to a central database through a broadband link. This central database is hosted on secure servers. It is a reliable backup and also the information hub, which means you can access your business information from anywhere at any time.

This perfect multichannel retail architecture is feasible and affordable because we use tried and trusted "open source" systems. Firebird database and Linux servers are developed by experts in the open software community, so no expensive corporate licenses here.

More than just a website: Its about helping you sell
