GERS Retail Systems, a provider of real-time, closed-loop retail management solutions, announced that Hank's Fine Furniture has integrated GERS' Private Label Finance application with CitiFinancial into their business processes to provide rapid Electronic Credit Application (ECA), Authorization, and Settlement transactions. "With GERS Private Label Finance, the financing process is much faster for our salespeople," said John Nevener, MIS for Hank's Fine Furniture. "Since transactional and customer data are tied to the CitiFinancial application, they no longer have to key in the Citi info, which reduces errors. Plus, at the end of the day our home office can more easily balance the Citi funding information." "Rapid processing speeds checkout, enhancing both customer service and the shopping experience," said Phil Kenney, Vice President of Marketing for GERS Retail Systems. "We are confident that this will stimulate increased sales and repeat business for Hank's Fine Furniture."
