Why our Epos software got full marks from Skoolkit
Creating school uniforms is a complex operation from sourcing to embroidery to distribution. FM Retail software is flexible enough to work with your business however you need it to. See how we helped Skoolkit.
Skoolkit's Challenge
As an all-in-one manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer, Skoolkit runs a complex supply chain, even more so since it introduced an ecommerce division in 2006. Co-ordinating and efficiently integrating all the aspects of this business model has been a challenge from day one.
Our Solution
With such an intricate set-up, Skoolkit required a tailor-made software solution as neat as any customised schoolblazer. Our standard FM retail software had a built-in flexibility that could control everything from colour, size and badge variations through to logistic handling and warehouse robotics. But we’ve also developed personalised functions such as an API plug-in, a demand prediction app, and voice picking to meet Skoolkit’s growing needs.
The Result
Since adopting our software in 2002, Skoolkit has found it to be top of the class for the smooth running of their operation. The voice picking function in particular has helped speed up stocktaking while reducing manual error, and that has boosted profitability.
"It is now the voice picking system that is providing further development requirements as we extend it to more and more processes" - Sean Davidson, IT Director of Skoolkit.
That’s an interesting topic tailoring Skoolkit’s requirements really comes down to understanding user needs and building flexibility into the system. Every educational or organizational tool has to adapt to the specific workflows, compliance standards, and goals of the institution using it.
It’s a bit like how customization works in industrial services for example, in chemical tank rentals, clients often need tanks designed for specific capacities, safety ratings, or chemical types. The framework may be the same, but the details must fit each unique use case. Skoolkit could take a similar modular approach keeping a strong core structure while allowing institutions to configure certain features for their exact needs.
In short, flexibility and scalability are key. When a platform can grow…
