Business Wire
Island Pacific Systems, Inc. (Island Pacific), a 100% owned
subsidiary of 3Q Holdings Limited (ASX: TQH), announced today that
USC, a UK-based retailer of branded clothing, footwear and
accessories, has recently selected Island Pacific Store as its new
point of sale solution. Integrated with the Island Pacific
Merchandising Solution, Island Pacific Store now gives USC an all
encompassing and fully integrated solution, with back office
functionality. An aggressive roll out is now under way, with pilots
running just seven weeks after the decision was made to implement
Island Pacific Store.
This project solidifies an 11 year relationship between USC and
Island Pacific. The replacement POS solution enables USC to achieve
better delivery and management of offers and promotions from their
central head office, allowing USC to be more creative and offer
greater variety to their customers. Complete integration with back
office systems reports all results to the business, enabling
monitoring and intelligent analysis of all store activity. USC will
now have flexible real-time reporting across the business on how
stores are trading. Further benefits for USC will include
centralized refund management, customer loyalty and added security
and support.
Island Pacific offered USC a solution that met their specific
requirements and their aggressive timelines for replacement. Carole
Dillon, Merchandise Systems Manager for USC, said, “We are
delighted with the can-do attitude of Island Pacific. That has
enabled us to move so quickly on this implementation. It is great
to work with a company where you have complete trust and confidence
that deadlines will be met on time and to the standard
expected.”
By mid October, Island Pacific Store was live across most of the
USC estate. USC is benefiting from immediate results and a lowered
cost through a quick implementation.
Mike Dotson, Managing Director, Europe for Island Pacific,
added, “The USC challenge is being met through a proven
functionally rich and stable solution that lends itself to rapid
deployment. We believe this will strengthen our long-standing
relationship with USC as they continue to improve the customer
experience.”
