Chief Financial Officer

As a CFO, you would already appreciate that without a good computer system it is quite impossible to run a retail chain cost-effectively. It is also impossible to meet the standards of proper corporate governance.

From your perspective, you need a computer system that adds up, works well, is reliable and is cost effective. You need a system that will assist in responsible decision making, that will allow you to exercise proper internal control and that will produce high integrity reports. You will also want it to be modern and flexible, so you do not have put the organisation through the pain of system change every few years.

The proven, retail-specific Retail Directions system enables you to achieve substantial gains in areas such as:

  • Warehouse efficiency
  • Stock shrinkage reduction
  • Capturing detailed and accurate management accounting data
  • Stock distribution management to reduce mark-downs
  • Fast and flexible reporting
  • Easy integration with any financial system you choose.
  • Gross profit management and tracking, to improve the bottom line
