Omnichannel Retail solution for AMRI, UAE

Problem Statement

AMRI Fashions (https://amri.ae/) is a UAE-based leading chain of designer wear stores for Women and Kids, with 12 stores spread across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, RAK, Al Ain, and Khorfakkan. Apart from the physical stores, AMRI has an online presence in the form of e-commerce stores, social media, and other third-party online platforms like Namshi, Noon, and Ounass.

Faced with challenges related to operational efficiencies, growth plans, and difficulties with Consignment sales, AMRI was finding it difficult to manage vendors with a variety of margins, and their subsequent royalty amount to be paid. AMRI chose Posibolt for this purpose and we are proud to be associated with and contribute to the growth and success of AMRI as a solution provider.

Solution

Posibolt’s multi-store omnichannel Retail solution covering Sales, Inventory, Purchase, and Accounting was implemented with a powerful layer of Business Intelligence (BI) Analytics to top it up. The Online eCommerce store is powered by Posibolt solution in the backend as a one-stop-shop for the entire Product Management of AMRI.

The following are some salient points about the Omnichannel Retail solution and its implementation :

• The solution was deployed in a Hybrid Cloud model with both local and cloud connectivity. This helps in performance as well as business continuity
• Posibolt introduced Consignment invoicing, where the business can add a new vendor, its products, quantity purchased, its royalty percentage, and then generate the invoice to a particular vendor based on the quantity sold and its specified margin.
• To track all its consignment sales, and the amount due to each vendor, one can now use the “Consignment Report” to check the sales of a particular product from a vendor, its quantity sold and the royalty amount due to that vendor.
• Store groupings – Single brand, Multi brand, and Third-party
• Product categorization between Owned (Factory), Purchased and Consigned items
• Inventory and Performance reports by business-specific parameters like Vendor, Brand, Style code, Colour, Size, Material etc.
• Integration of Products, Prices, and Stock with the Ecommerce system
• Centralized Accounting
• Advanced and Insightful analytics using BI reports for better and more accurate decision making
• Discount card sales and promotions
