Take Real-Time Markdowns with Zebra Printers

Anyone who has worked in retail management knows what a supreme hassle taking mark-downs can be. It doesn’t even have to be a store or department manager. Oftentimes employees have to take the time away from other responsibilities and find bar codes, check markdown sheets, print labels and then ensure that the right price is transmitted to the main computer. How many angry customers have stood in line while all the store associates keep announcing “price check on register one”? If the store in question had used a new Zebra printer from Electrone for the mark-downs, time and money would have been saved.

Heaven forbid that a modern day retailer would use an out-of-date, old-fashioned manual process of taking mark-downs. Those who were in retail 40 years ago remember the days of closing the store for a half-day or maybe even coming in on a Sunday when no stores were open. Someone had to take the physical inventory and the next person performed a double-check. Once everything was counted, markdowns could be taken. Zebra printers have taken us from the mid-20^th Century to the end of the 20^th Century and now lead the way in the 21^st Century.

Zebra printers from Electrone allow employees to mark down select items rather than an entire line, plus there is no running back and forth to a store room or front office for prices or supplies. Everything you need is right at hand. Inventory levels and new prices are transmitted in real time. No one is going to be waiting at the cash register for a price check. The item is labeled and the POS will recognize it. There are no line back-ups, no angry customers who have been waiting to be checked out, and no embarrassed customer who feels like she is being treated as if she was attempting to buy the item for less than it was intended.

Incorporating a Zebra printer from Electrone for all retail mark-downs can be a wise, cost-efficient way of adding to the bottom line while increasing employee productivity.

Applying the Principles of Shortening the Supply Chain To Your IT Vendor

Most retailers understand the rules of shortening the supply chain to increase the value of their own product lines. Now, these same principles should also be used in the process of technology purchasing to improve business, according to Chief Executive of Electrone Europe, Stuart Thorn.

Streamline Suppliers

Companies such as Dell and EasyJet have become masters at streamlining the market to its basics, by simply buying directly from the supplier. This idea of reducing the number of processes in the chain should also be used with the technology partner. Retailers will only have the ability to lower costs and increase flexibility by using the smallest number of technology manufacturers.

The basics of most extended supply chains lead to greater costs and less flexibility! By purchasing software from the source, you can give direct feedback to them. Think if your reseller has the influence when it comes to asking for software changes or additions. Also, if you are in need of specialist input terminals or devices to operate your stores more efficiently, are you able to influence the style and design of those terminals?

Custom Technology

On one hand, greater pressure means high functioning, smarter, and more compact EPoS devices. However, your software can be customized for your specific needs in our current technologically advanced world. But, is the relationship you have with your supplier flexible enough to allow you to change the technology during the point of sale? Does it let you have a lower EPoS terminal in some stores, and well-designed, stylish looking units in another, or do you have to acquire a certain feature in order to handle problems and separate yourself from the competition?

Most would try to find a solution via their channel partner. However, they often end up to far removed in the supply chain to have any impact. Therefore, it’s critical that retailers use suppliers who in fact manage and own the manufacturing process. This will raise the initial design flexibility, as well as the ability to adjust to any new market changes.

Many times, retailers need to test new technology by buying just a few units. They also might need them on short notice. Only those that manage or own their manufacturing are able to make special adjustments on short notice. This is why keeping a stock of main, modular components at hand is so advantageous.

You want to ensure that you source right from outsource manufacturers who are as close to the production line as possible. Then you will be able to use their streamlined technology supply chain to offer better service, higher customer satisfaction, and differentiate your brand. And always be sure to stay close enough to the manufactures or vendors so your special needs are heard.
