Pet Goods has since grown to 4 stores across New York and New Jersey. And in order to stay competitive, they have maximized all of the tools EncomPos Software has to offer. 

Number one on the list is maintaining stock levels in each store. This is critical to doing business and keeping up with their customers expectations. Pet Goods does this by using the EncomPos reorder analysis tool, which checks movement data and current onhand levels to accurately generate suggested order amounts. And while they are building their orders, they can check to see if merchandise listed under a different supplier can be replenished from the supplier they are currently placing the order for, thus minimizing out of stocks and becoming much more efficient. Cross ordering is accomplished by the unique inclusion of supplier catalogs separate from the store inventory accomplishing access to the same product acrosss mutiple vendors.

Next has to be reducing the amount of time and employee effort. To do this Pet Goods makes use of several portable Worth Data 7001 terminals in each store along with mobile Datamax O'neil LP3 printers, so they can remotely place orders, receive orders and print shelf tags. As well, Pet Goods uses EncomPos EnCorp Tier 2 HQ Package Center for sending price updates, new products, and their monthly promotions from their main store to each of their other stores, minimizing manager effort at each location and ending the need to manually enter the data in at each location, which is a huge time saver.
