Beachwear Fashion Retail Store Challenges

As an apparel retailer, Guy Harvey Stores found it challenging to serve their customers in-store and keep track of merchandise.

This combination of aging retail software, system limitations, and training tasks made it hard to serve customers.

“Having a system that can handle that kind of inventory and keep track of it was a necessity for us. It tracks our inventory so well and has features such as the min/max feature that helps us stay on top of our inventory. With the success that we've had, we are now going to be switching over our Cayman Island store to the Celerant system as well.”
