Merchandise management

As a customer, you have no investment risk, no high one-time acquisition costs, and you can claim the license costs for tax purposes over the entire period of use - not just over a depreciation period of 36 months. In addition, the monthly costs are always based on actual demand and there is no over-licensing. In short, you only pay for what you actually use and can continuously adapt your software subscription to your requirements.

As soon as the speed or complexity within your company is no longer manageable with manual processes. In other words: An enterprise resource planning makes sense from the very beginning to facilitate your daily work, to always keep an overview and reduce labor.

Merchandise management deals with the administration as well as the temporal, quantitative, qualitative, and also spatial planning and control of goods within a company.

Basically, there is no real difference. ERP is an international term and stands for "Enterprise Resource Planning". Often the term "ERP" is used when additional tasks and processes of a company are planned, managed and controlled in the software, such as accounting or fleet management.

With an enterprise resource planning system, trade and work processes can be automated, optimized and all associated company areas can be lightened. In addition to this simplification of processes, and the achievement of a best possible overview, there are also cost savings.

You have to make sure that the entire solution is a true Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that also works independently of workstations and devices.  That means that no matter where, when and with which device you are working, you always have access to your current data and the most important functions.

With advarics, this is possible without any problems. In fact, it’s one of advarics‘ main advantages!

For all retail companies that sell lifestyle products (sports, fashion, shoes, accessories or similar) both in-store and online.
