Island Pacific has developed and deployed integrated software
solutions that enable retailers to manage the entire scope of their
operations. The expanded Island Pacific solution set on display
this year includes the launch of “Island Pacific SmartRetail”. As
part of our long-term modernization strategy we’ve developed a
fully modern browser-based interface for all of our
applications. Using the latest Web 2.0 technologies
we’ve designing an entirely new and much more intuitive
way of accessing the robust retail management features
provided by the Island Pacific suite of applications. All
of the information available today in several different
inquiry functions is combined into one easy to
navigate web page with robust search features
and intuitive charts and graphs. Users can customize
their view of the data including adding their own calculated
columns for easy and further analysis. IPMS simplified!
Davy Rosen, Chief Executive Officer of Island Pacific commented:
“The new user interface developed for Island Pacific SmartRetail is
built using Web 2.0 techniques and within a Service Oriented
Architecture to deliver an entirely new and much more intuitive way
of accessing the rich retail management features provided by IPMS.
The traditional user interfaces (both the “green screen” and also
the Jwalk Seagull interface) will remain available and can be used
alongside the new user interface. Although underneath all
interfaces are common feature sets and database schemas, the new
user interface does indeed enable new functionality by dint of the
enhanced technology being deployed.”
Island Pacific SmartRetail will be available across our entire
Island Pacific Merchandise Suite (IPMS) products, to including
Merchandising, Replenishment, Deals & Promos, Ticketing,
Warehouse, Sales Audit, and Financials.
Also being showcased is Island Pacific Planning v2.4 including
Assortment Manager. This application provides planners and buyers a
style (or option) management and sourcing system, which together
with a rich image and document management system (called the
‘Buyers Playground’), allows assortments, ranges and entire
collections to be visually built. Powerful multi-tier store
grading, depth-and breadth option planning, assortment matrixes and
range building combine to provide a natural and intuitive approach
to assortment management. The use of price points, user defined
attributes (or ‘assortment factors’), and product lifecycle
management are some of the features provided inherently to assist
the buyer in building a collection. Once approved, options and
ranges can be exported to the Merchandising and Purchasing systems
to provide an end-to-end plan-assort-buy cycle.
Jay Fisher, Chief Technology Officer of Island Pacific said:
“Island Pacific Assortment Management adds to the Island Pacific
Planning suite the ability to build ranges and visual assortments
easily and intuitively such that a buyer’s bottom-up, natural
process of range building is done within the parameters and
boundaries set by the top-down Open-to-Buy plans.”
Island Pacific Planning is a sophisticated, yet easy to use
integrated planning tool encompassing Merchandise Planning,
Assortment Planning and Multi-channel Planning that delivers a
proven track record for return on investment in critical areas such
as stock turn, increased mark-ups, lower average inventory,
increased gross margins and cash flow.
“NRF is a major event in the Island Pacific calendar, giving us
the opportunity to network with our existing customer base and
prospective customers together with other retail solution
providers.” said Richard Gaetano, Chief Operating Officer of Island
Pacific. “This year we are very excited to promote the launch of
Island Pacific SmartRetail as well as new modules within our
expanded application footprint.”
Mike Dotson, Vice President of Global Sales, said “We remain
committed to providing our customers with the latest functionality
and best business practices to fit their changing needs. We are
cognizant that retailers today must have accessibility and
availability of key analytical data and information as they plan
and strategize for the future.”
