IT is childs play for K3 at Kiddicare.com
03 July 2007
 |
Kiddicare, the largest privately owned UK nursery supplier,
has commissioned K3 to design and implement an entire suite
of retail management solutions based on Microsoft Dynamics
to support ambitious expansion. K3 is providing an end
to end retail solution based on Microsoft Dynamics, that will
enable improved management of stock, sales, promotions, buying,
warehousing and financials that |
will ultimately improve the
offering to visitors to the store or web site. The solution
will replace the current system that manages stocks and sales.
The K3 solution will become the single management point for all
product information which will help streamline Kiddicare's processes
and improve data accuracy.
Kiddicare has enjoyed significant growth, establishing a successful
internet sales channel picking over 66,000 items per month which now
accounts for a major part of total sales. To support this growth the
business is investing £12 million in a new store and warehouse facility
in Peterborough to carter for up to 8,000 pallets using high bay racking
and a pick face supporting 3,500 locations over four floors.
The in-store offering will be enhanced by the addition of EPOS and
a new kiosk solution developed by K3, based on Order iPad. Kiddicare
operate a 'select and collect' process in the store for bulk items such
as pushchairs. The kiosk will help Kiddicare improve the picking process
and create 'up sell' opportunities within the service.
SharePoint is also being deployed to help manage product information
for the web site and improve collaboration with suppliers.
Scott Weavers-Wright, partner at Kiddicare said, “Kiddicare is
dedicated to offering our customers outstanding service both in-
store and on-line. We have chosen K3 as our partner as they have
the expertise to support us in this drive and the solution can be
extended to other Microsoft technologies. Our product offer will expand
to drive higher sales in the new store and we anticipate that the new
solution will enable us to manage furniture sales and an increased product offer.”
Paul Makin, Sales Director, K3 said, “This is an exciting project for us.
It gives K3 the opportunity to demonstrate its innovative solutions
specifically designed to enhance the customer experience and support
Kiddicare’s commitment to its shoppers.”
