99p Stores has selected Futura's retail management solution to replace Torex's DOS based system in all of its 116 stores.

Following a pilot, Futura scheduled a two month roll-out programme to change both software and platform. The company installed the system with Digipos touch screen tills each evening after trading. Alongside, a new chip and PIN ability was introduced, to ensure the company is PCI compliant and enable contactless payments to follow.

Hussein Lalani, commercial director at 99p Stores, says: "Unlike other systems on the market, Futura can handle our unique bulk purchasing, commodity and category management requirements. We chose it as it is quick for our staff to learn, for its ability to link to our warehouse system, allocate stock to our website and give real time management reports."

"We are going to use Analyser, the reporting and analysis tool next to have greater management visibility of margin trends, daily sales and shrinkage. Then we shall look at the customer loyalty programme and e-gift card facilities to improve the customer shopping experience.," he adds.
