Inventory Control The Retail ICE system offers the retailer a multitude of ways to categorize and report on their inventory, which includes a Department, Class, and Subclass structure that allows the user to only see those classes assigned to a specific department and those subclasses assigned to a specific class. Other sub-category fields are available, including vendor, category, location, fabric, season, and color. Each offers virtually unlimited choices. All codes can be alphanumeric to allow for meaningful descriptions.
Product Maintenance Screen- This shows the information stored in a product record. The system tracks replacement cost, average cost, retail price, original retail price (for markdown purposes), compare at price, and "X for Y" price. Retail prices may be automatically calculated by entering in the desired gross margin. Model stocking levels for reorder purposes may also be set in the primary inventory record. An unlimited number of price levels may be stored and used. Both in the product record and the customer record, the user may attach a picture image by simply clicking the picture window on the screen and then clicking the image address or typing it in. Thus, using a digital camera, a buyer could take pictures of certain products at a trade show. Then, when entering the inventory items into the system, the images could be captured on the inventory record to allow all personnel to properly identify the items. Vendor catalogs with images may be imported and customer pictures stored for better customer service. An additional benefit of the picture image is that it can automatically display at point of sale when the item is rung up. This will help ensure the right item is being sold and can eliminate "sticker switching."
