Megadisc – Store management system
Megadisc is a complete store management system developed for speciality goods and retail. The application is built on cutting edge programming and PC technologies. Megadisc can be used in a small store, as well as in large multiple chain environments where single stores can easily be connected to a centrally located headquarter. Statistics, more efficient stock keeping, central pricing strategies are advantages achieved with Megadisc.
Today there are about 1500 stores installed with Megadisc within fashion, books, eye-care, DIY and telecoms.
Megadisc is modern, easy to use software with a wide range of features. It provides comprehensive management of pricing, purchasing, product selections, campaigns, stocks, sales monitoring, cash terminals, personnel, suppliers, customers and invoicing.
Megadisc also ensures that there are enough goods for sale – the software automatically produces proposals for purchase orders that include details of prices, quantities and suppliers. This function can be linked for example to previous purchases of a product, turnover speed and alert levels for stock levels. Megadisc also makes it possible to monitor seasonal variations in stock levels and identifies unprofitable products that sit on the shelf.
Megadisc cuts the work of sales persons in the store, so that they can concentrate on what is most important – customer service. Tasks such as making purchase orders, receiving goods and checking stock levels are really easy with Megadisc. Easy to use for everyone, and all the program functions can be monitored on the screen, such as the cash receipt in a sales situation.
The scalability of the Megadisc software is exceptionally useful – one and the same software product contains all the functions, from a store’s point of sale and back office functions to supply chain management. The customer company can decide itself about when and how to introduce the system’s different functions and their scope. A small store can for example start with just a point of sale system. Extra functions can then be activated and utilised later as the needs of the business change. Introducing new functions is quick and easy, since it is not necessary to install separate software.
