The Sweet Smell of Success

IT business solutions are all about delivering rapid, specialised and effective responses to the client’s needs and when leading independent greeting card retailer Penmark Cards approached PXtech to devise a till solution for their new concept store, Aroma, we jumped at the opportunity to provide a tailor-made product for a Midlands’ business that is really going places.

The team at Aroma was looking for a till solution which encompassed all the key controls needed for their store set-up including sales, labour management and stock control but most importantly, the management team needed business performance information at their fingertips, delivered in real-time.

We put together a solution using the PXportal product linked to ICRtouch POS software, providing the all-essential live access to real-time sales data allowing them to:
• effectively monitor the store’s performance
• identify the success of individual product lines and store layouts
• drive Aroma’s business performance forward

The solution was up and running within two weeks of order, providing the controls the business needed, as swiftly as it was needed so that Aroma could get on with bringing handmade, natural cosmetics and all things home fragrance to their customers.
