Sleep Country operating with Gers software
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, January 27, 2002
SAN DIEGO — Sleep Country USA, a Northwest bedding chain based in Kent, Wash., is successfully using the Enterprise 1 and Retail Analyst software packages by GERS Retail Systems here.
The retailer said the software has eliminated manual processes, improved inventory turns, and analyzed merchandising information to identify revenue opportunities.
"The GERS system provides us with quicker, easier access to key sales and financial data for our management team," said Barrie Brown, Sleep Country president. "By improving the way we manage our inventory, we have been able to increase revenue and nearly double our store count without adding support staff in sales administration or purchasing."
Before implementing the new system, Sleep Country used two systems to manage merchandising, distribution and financial information.
GERS said that Enterprise 1 offers real-time information in an online environment, while Retail Analyst allows stores to capitalize on hot sales trends, validate pricing strategies and benchmark performance against the previous year.
"Sleep Country has effectively used our solutions to support business growth and lower costs," said Don Vander Bake, GERS' executive vice president of marketing and support.
Sleep Country sells premium mattresses, adjustable beds, daybeds, and wood and metal accent beds throughout the Pacific Northwest.
