NTS WINCASH Cash Registers and Inventory Management at o2
Peter Wohlfahrt, logistics manager / shop supplies, sales operations department at o2 (Germany) GmbH & Co.
"NTSwincash allows us to control all distribution channels in the direct sales area through a central system.
Master data can thereby be created centrally and still be modified on a 'by location or region' - basis. We can thus immediately respond to regional developments and location particularities.
We supply over 550 locations with goods every day, the majority of which are high value mobile telephones. The daily ordering and allocation process must therefore run fully automatically. On the one hand, the franchise shops are given a certain degree of freedom and responsibility in the composition of their current product portfolio, on the other the central logistics department can modify or cancel any order.
Integrated serial number management ensures the seamless tracing of all devices.
Flexible shop classification allows assessment of all locations by any number of criteria. This allows derivation of inventory figures, such as allowed maximum stock level of any particular device. The Order Wizard then supports the staff in creating an order.
NTSwincash offers full support of our consignment goods model, used in the franchise shops. The logical separation of our consignment goods from the specialised retail products in the franchise shops within a single system represented a major aspect of our distribution concept - ensuring complete returns handling of our articles across the whole of Germany.
The franchise option allows the franchisee to create, administer and analyse their own article master data, goods groups, users etc., and the automated VAT splitting supports fiscally compliant settlement so the shop only needs to deploy a single system.
With NTSwincash we have a flexible standard POS software in operation also optimally prepared to also satisfy our future needs."
