Alworths is trialling the new Futura4Phone mobile application from Futura.

Andy Latham, managing director at Alworths, comments: “Futura4Phone gives me live, up-to-the-minute sales and other management information while I am out of the office. This enables me to keep up-to-date with company performance and to instigate actions in line with performance; it creates a business environment that is able to react to the changing wants and needs of our customers in the most cost effective way.”

“It’s great knowing you can be anywhere and be confident that you know how your business is performing in real-time. All this, without having to rely on members of your team producing and sending you the information. This frees them up to do what is most important: to act on the information available rather than spending time producing it,” he adds.

The application works by connecting mobile phones via the internet to the head office server, which is constantly collecting all live shop and stock data in the Futura system. Those not using Futura as their shop system can also use the technology if their retail system passes all branch data to their head office live or on a trickle fed basis.
