Ascension chooses Futura merchandising technology for first flagship store
Real time stock allocation to raise cross channel efficiencies
Pioneering ethical fashion retailer Ascension, which is to open its first bricks and mortar store in the heart of London’s West End, has chosen Futura’s EPOS and retail management system for its strength in Merchandise Planning and fast set up for staff training and implementation.
Ascension CEO, Adam Smith wanted to solve a number of retail challenges, in particular the need to balance stock and avoid depletions in different parts of the business. A robust system with proven stock expertise was essential. He was also looking for predictive buying requirements as sales history built up; real time store replenishment guidance and the ability to generate critical trading reports and analysis.
Adam Smith said: “We chose Futura because they could quickly deliver a cost-effective, scalable and strategic solution to support our fast growing multi-channel business needs. Their strength in inventory control, allocations and replenishment combined with a host of other features including chip and pin, warehousing and mobile retailing were also important factors for us.”
