Retailers to benefit from store data availability with new Estate Manager from Eurostop

This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: Retailers to benefit from store data availability with new Estate Manager from Eurostop.

Retail management solutions provider for the fashion, footwear and lifestyle sectors, Eurostop, has announced the availability of its newest product; Estate Manager. Estate Manager sits between the ERP and the retailer's EPOS solution enabling a fast exchange of product and pricing data.  Estate Manager enables retailers of any size or geography to benefit from the specialist nature of Eurostop's EPOS solution while using its own ERP system.  At the same time retailers are able to use Estate Manager to build resilience and scale-out into their systems as store level data can be held across one or multiple server farms.

Available in the cloud, in-house or at a third party hosting site, Estate Manager can be deployed as a single, remote, small footprint database. For larger organisations, multiple copies can be deployed, where each instance holds a subset of data, controlling a specific range of stores. These become networked in a server farm; replicating and managing store level data in a pyramid fashion to ensure maximum availability.

Phil Moylan, Sales & Marketing Manager at Eurostop commented; "Estate Manager gives our customers greater choice by integrating with most of the major ERP solutions they are able to link our best-of-breed EPOS solution with the rest of their business systems. This enables better flow of information and therefore supports better business decisions."

Estate Manager also comes with a comprehensive configuration dashboard that provides essential information and tools to remote IT teams. It allows the retailer to manage, in real-time store openings or closures, product and price files, promotions and more. It also controls when new operating parameters are to be transmitted across the whole estate, an international or local region or to individual terminals within a store. Also driving the company's e-commerce platform, Estate Manager ensures multiple product codes remain identical across omni-channel points and store servers.
