Industry Challenges
What makes retail operations hard to run on generic software.
Inventory splintered across channels
Separate stock counts for stores, web and marketplaces cause overselling and lost sales from phantom stockouts.
Pricing and promotion drift
Pricing set locally per store or channel is slow to update and easy to get inconsistent across a chain.
Slow replenishment signal
A reorder decision based on stale reports instead of live sell-through leads to both stockouts and overstock at the same time.
The Spark ERP Solution
Retail runs merchandising, point of sale, inventory and omnichannel selling on one connected system, so an assortment or pricing decision made centrally reaches every store and channel — and a sale at the register updates finance and stock in real time.
