Instore, a general merchandise retailer with 320 stores including high street names such as Poundstretcher, is using Aldata Gold supply chain management software to support its retail operations throughout the UK

Instore will deploy Aldata Gold modules for central data management, warehouse management, order management, replenishment optimisation, store inventory management and automated allocation.

“Aldata Gold is an ideal solution for Instore as it has retail and distribution best-practice built-in and has a simple technical architecture that is easy to manage,” says Les Thomas, IT director at Instore. “We are expecting significant business benefits to flow quickly from this project and we are keen to avoid large scale ERP implementations that could take years,” he adds.

The Aldata Gold software suite is both integrated and modular allowing for flexible implementations. Aldata aim to use the skills Instore already possesses in order to keep the implementation low-risk and cost-effective.
