Paperchase highlights Merret benefits

August 2007: With more than 100 UK outlets, including standalone stores, concessions within Borders, selected Selfridges and House of Fraser stores, plus operations within Singapore and Australia, Paperchase is the retail brand leader in design-led, innovative stationery.

Merret impressed Paperchase with the depth and breadth of functionality within its integrated solution, ability to deliver within short timescales, plus hands-on retail experience. It was able to provide a single platform for product management, purchase order management, allocations and replenishment, warehouse management and MIS reporting.

The results were:
  • Improved business performance in terms of sales turnover and profitability
  • Predicted system payback within 18 months
  • Increased functionality in all areas
  • An uplift in user productivity
  • Better control of the supply chain

"Once Merret was up and running, we saw a material increase in sales on a like-for-like basis," explains Gary Mudie, Global CIO of Paperchase.

"We attribute a 6.4% sales uplift to Merret during the financial year 06-07," said David Bateman, Global CFO
