Raymark’s Managed Services to Improve Operations for Texas Footwear Retailer
MONTREAL, Canada, April 14, 2009 - Raymark is pleased to announce that The
Shtofman Company, Inc. (TSCI) has selected Xpert-Series™ as its retail software
solution. An independent, Texas-based footwear retailer, The Shtofman Co., Inc.
chose Raymark’s Managed Services for its combined server management and technical
assistance, ensuring that they will derive maximum efficiency and functionality
from their retail applications.
“As we continued to grow, we were searching for a solution that would improve our
procurement, allocation and replenishment processes,” says Marvin Krasner, The Shtofman
Co. Inc.’s CEO and President. “Raymark’s Managed Services will allow us to better-perform
these tasks, with the added benefit of permanent monitoring and regular upgrades.
Additionally, some of our stores cater solely to Spanish-speaking communities, making
Xpert-Series’™ multi-language functionality a key reason for having chosen the software.”
“Trusting Raymark’s Managed Services for their technical and service requirements
will permit The Shtofman Co., Inc. to retain the freedom and resources needed to
focus on their business development instead of their business operations,” says
Claude Chriqui, Raymark’s CEO. “We are thrilled to have this longstanding Texas
retailer as a customer, and look forward to continued success with them in the future.”
