It may at first seem odd for running
shoes chosen by marathon world record holder, Patrick Makau Musyoki,
to be likened unto software for an apparel point of sale system. But,
maybe this software package is unusual in the class to which it has
been assigned. The Visual Retail Plus software solution is just such a package amidst point of sale systems.
Musyoki knows that a quality running
shoe should be reliable. As shoes carry a runner, a retailer of the
Twenty-First century is carried by their point of sale and inventory
management software. Like Musyoki's shoes, the VRP product is
designed to be reliable. Skilled technicians from VRP install more
than mere hardware, and their programmers don't just write code. De
facto policy at VRP requires that each component of their system be
imbued with a solid bastion of confidence. A retailer need not worry
about whether their point of sale for clothing will function properly
tomorrow. Nevertheless, since very little in this world is free of
imperfection, common knowledge informs us of a general guarantee that
most every machine will incur moments of difficulty, and not even VRP
is beyond the scope of an occasional hiccup. But, in the fast-paced
environment of modern retail, to lose functionality of a single POS
system is unacceptable. Just one out-of-order register sends a
message to customers that the store is weak, unreliable and poorly
established; such is the fate of those who install inferior products,
concocted by incompetent software designers and backed by
insufficient customer support. And, the modern retailer need not
settle for a 'solution' of that sort. Musyoki stands tall, confident
before the race because he knows that each footfall is precisely
cushioned for optimal performance. A champion retailer chooses VRP
and is poised to enjoy optimal return on investment.
The people at Visual Retail Plus stand
behind their product. When a client calls for help, he or she is
assisted by a friendly, knowledgeable and quite capable member of the
VRP team. Where other POS firms might take days to resolve a
troublesome issue, such difficulties are remedied quickly, within
hours. In this way, a store that implements the VRP solution is
rescued, side-stepping the immobilizing pitfalls by which others
would perish for lack of adequate customer support.
After more than twenty years of
experience in POS design, the developers at VRP have honed a finely
crafted set of tools, producing a system which is vastly scalable.
Even with hundreds of thousands of transactions and cataloged
inventory items, VRP deftly handles an otherwise unwieldy database.
This is made possible by utilizing the power of Microsoft's SQL
Server coupled with superior query algorithms. As a result, VRP is
like the champion racer, fast and responsive at the checkout line as
well as in the back office.
In the end, Musyoki's choice of running
shoe is an integral component in the ensemble of decisions which
propel him to succeed. In much the same way, a retailer's climb to
prominence can be significantly influenced by their choice in point
of sale system. The smooth efficiency of the VRP POS and inventory
management package helps a retailer to continue racing into the
twenty-sixth mile and beyond. With Visual Retail Plus, a retailer's
employees can focus on customer satisfaction instead of having to
expend energy in dealing with the frustrations associated with
inferior systems. The VRP solution is designed to be reliable in even
the most trying of circumstances. And, it is this end to which the
brilliant minds at VRP have achieved quite well.
