The c-store market is a segment of the retail
market that can benefit enormously by leveraging technology to
increase profit. Rising gasoline prices and increased hypermarket
activity (Costco, Sam’s Club, BJ’s, for example) have squeezed
margins from gas sales. Tobacco legislation has impacted cigarette
sales. Crime has affected the ability to hire store personnel. A c-store’s
profitability is now, more than ever, coming from inside, or
merchandise sales.
To ensure continued profitability, close
attention must be paid to inventory control, item prices, deliveries
of product and vendor management. In addition, stores must get
increased productivity from store personnel and keep training simple
and costs low. Pricebook Connect™ is a new, high-function
inventory and pricebook management system that consolidates many
different time-consuming activities into one, easy-to-use
application that can help you achieve these goals.
