Furniture World Magazine

GERS Retail Systems, a leading provider of business solutions for the retail industry, announced that Finesse Furnishings, the largest furniture showroom in Alberta, Canada, will upgrade their operations with GERS' Enterprise1 merchandising, distribution, and financial transaction application and Radio Frequency (RF) Warehousing. "Finesse has just expanded to an 135,000-square-foot showroom in Edmonton and we will soon be opening three stores in Montreal," said Jack Saroukian, President for Finesse Furnishings. "The GERS Enterprise1 application is a huge step forward for us technologically and GERS has been extremely helpful in facilitating the hardware, networking, and support required to convert from our 10-year-old system." Enterprise1 allows Finesse Furnishings to integrate all their merchandising, distribution, and financial information into a centralized, real-time environment for tighter inventory control, immediate information retrieval, and more streamlined processing of core business transactions. Extensive reporting capabilities built into the application will save time and lower operational expenses. Additionally, RF Warehousing allows inventory to be instantly logged and easily and accurately tracked from receiving to sale, further reducing downtime and labor costs. "We are delighted that Finesse Furnishings has chosen GERS to take them to the next level," said Phil Kenney, Vice President of Marketing for GERS Retail Systems. "We look forward to helping them reach their expansion goals in a timely and profitable manner."
