Alabama Dealer lmproves Tums

Retailers specializing in hardware can profit from a materials management system as much as the dealer who sells lumber.

Valleydale Pro Hardware, Birmingham, Al., a MooreHandley, Inc. alfiliate, is predominantly a retail walk-in business with approximately 100 contractor and charge accounts. Their incentive for installing a computer management system was to improve gross margins and to better inventory control to increase turns.

Now they have inventory numbers, SKUs, descriptions, bin locations, cost and retail prices entered into their Versyss system with plans to electronically transmit purchase orders and import inventory and price changes via electronic data interchange.

"The excellent training provided, along with the telephone support we receive, has been very important to us," explains Larry Deboer, who owns the store with his wife, Sue. "Since this is our first experience with computers, we were concerned about the installation and training, but found we had worried needlessly."
