Cape Garden Centre opened in 1996 and has evolved into the largest garden centre in the Western Cape. Its four branches in Joostenbergvlakte, Stellenbosch, Somerset West and Vredendal carry a wide selection of plants, pots, pavers, water features, garden furniture and other garden d'ecor for the whole family all year round.
Cape Garden Centre did not have a sales and stock management system in place and with their growing business, the need for centralised control became more urgent. They needed a robust yet user-friendly system that would encompass:
* Centralised control from head-office;
* Detailed stock control;
* Promotions management;
* Pricing control; and
* Detailed reporting across all transactions.
Christelle Smal, the Retail Manager at Cape Garden Centre, said: "We knew we had to make the transition and the perfect time arrived when we opened our newest branch in Somerset West, where we first implemented the Integrity Retail system."
Cape Garden Centre opted for Integrity Retail due to its comprehensive retail management solution that is suited to the multi branch retail environment. Built on a centralised head-office and automated updates between branches and head-office, Integrity Retail offers clear visibility from a stock management, transaction records and reporting perspective. With its user-friendly point of sale interface, Cape Garden Centre were able to easily adopt Integrity Retail into its various retail stores, allowing for seamless in store process with stringent control and accurate reporting back to head office, giving management the information they need to make informed business decisions.
Peter van Niekerk, Owner of Cape Garden Centre, commented: "Integrity Retail was an obvious choice due to the fact that the system suited our needs and was very well priced. It is also very user friendly and is backed up by an excellent support team, always standing by for any questions or queries which in our trade are essential to have."
Smal concluded by saying: "At this current moment we do not have any plans in expanding but if an opportunity presents itself in the near future a retail system will be the least of our worries as we have everything we need and more in the Integrity Retail system."
