Proteus Software and our PROTEUS Warehouse Management Solution forms a key element of the Progress Business Edge for Retail offering. Progress Software is one of the few companies providing a complete application development and deployment environment – more comprehensive than any other according to Robin Bloor of Bloor Research. But unlike many tools and database vendors, Progress doesn’t build applications or compete with its partners. Instead it has developed programmes like BusinessEdge for Retail, which brings partners with retail-proven applications together to address the needs of mid-sized retailers. BusinessEdge has developed considerably since first launched 12 months ago as a marketing umbrella under which Progress partners, whose applications share the Progress OpenEdge™ application development and deployment platform, could unite under a larger brand. Applications on offer embrace every part of the retailing cycle from the point-of-sale, through head office, into distribution and the supply chain beyond. New to BusinessEdge for Retail this year, are much closer and accelerated levels of integration between applications and business processes, together with business intelligence and decision support tools. These provide integrated operational awareness, performance monitoring, exception-based alerts and reporting across the whole spectrum of applications, in real-time. Progress partners participating under the BusinessEdge for Retail banner and connected to the bus include: (click on their name to visit their individual websites) BCP - food and convenience store specialists with accredited Chip & PIN solutions Sanderson Retail Systems - suppliers of both in-store and head office applications Cedar Open Accounts – providers of accounting & financial management software Red Prairie - customs and duty warehousing Sanderson - store performance Mark Information - specialists in staff planning and time & attendance Proteus - warehouse & distribution management, sales ordering, e-business With too many stores chasing too few customers, retailers will depend even more on complex technologies to survive and thrive. It seems that Progress BusinessEdge for Retail offers a way of simplifying the use of technology to optimise operations, avoid the trap of too much information, but not enough knowledge, capitalise on all channels to market and achieve greater visibility and efficiency in the supply chain. http://www.progressbusinessedge.com/progressuk/pub/proteus http://www.progress.com For further information please call Linda Rodway on +44 121 717 7474 or email me on moreinfo@proteussoftware.com Document > progress_software_businessedge_for_retail_brochure_english.pdf |
