Furniture World Magazine

STORIS Management Systems, a leading supplier of Software Solutions & Services for Big Ticket retailers, announced that Furniture Factory Direct successfully implemented its robust Vision R8 Server Business Solution. With 3 locations in Tukwila, Tacoma, and Lacey, Washington, Furniture Factory Direct has been recognized as the fastest growing retailer in the Seattle area. The progressive furniture chain, specializing in low to mid-price furniture, chose to implement STORIS’ Server Business Solution in Fall, 2006 and since has experienced tremendous benefits from the powerful solution. After experiencing issues with their former technology system, it’s no surprise that Furniture Factory Direct needed to find a more adequate and stable system that handles the demands of a growing business. They found STORIS to be a perfect fit. President of Furniture Factory Direct, Zarko Todorov states, “While looking at technology systems, I was most impressed by STORIS’ outstanding reputation, their robust technology, elite client base, and unparalleled experience in the Furniture Industry.” Todorov continues “We were looking for a system that could provide us with ‘real-time’ inventory. We found that capability with STORIS.” Furniture Factory Direct is utilizing STORIS’ real-time inventory applications: Radio Frequency Barcode to track multiple locations and Mobile Vision. By utilizing Microsoft Pocket PC technology, which supports WiFi RF connectivity and bar code scanning capability, Mobile Vision improves sales force effectiveness as they’re provided with instant information access. By simply scanning a product’s bar code and using WiFi capabilities, salespeople gain instant access to product descriptions, pricing and real time inventory availability. Mr. Todorov concludes, “Our partnership with STORIS is a strong one and they are highly receptive to our business needs. The Vision R8 Server Business Solution offers all of the technology applications my business requires and more, we are extremely pleased we chose to partner with STORIS.” STORIS Management Systems, an IBM Business partner, provides technology solutions and services to Big Ticket retailers. Small and large retailers worldwide rely on STORIS to integrate operations, streamline processes and outperform the competition.
