Raymark is pleased to announce that its Point-of-Sale solution has been selected for deployment throughout A&E Stores’ Strawberry, Pay Half and Bolton’s banners.

“We evaluated quite a few retail software vendors when looking to replace our POS solution,” states Bill Clayton, A&E’s MIS Director. “We were in a position where we needed to automate and streamline our processes, and were impressed with both Raymark’s products and its people. In the end, they offered the combination of features, functionality, services and value we were searching for, and we are confident they are a good fit for A&E going forward.”

“As a retail-specific software vendor, apparel and footwear are two of our strongest verticals,” says Marc Chriqui, Raymark’s President. “We have a deep understanding of what these retailers’ needs are, and I believe that came across to A&E during our discussions and demonstrations. With several banners to oversee, our real-time, centralized architecture will allow them to operate efficiently while providing them with the insight they require to make decisions throughout their entire chain.”

Raymark is pleased to announce that we are expanding our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software offering through deep integration with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009. Raymark is now delivering even more supply chain management functionality to the retail market, rounding out our end-to-end solution to help you drive your key business processes, make smarter and faster decisions, and ensure you make the most of your assets and resources.

”We are thrilled to be working with Microsoft on satisfying this significant need in the retail market,” states Marc Chriqui, Raymark’s President. “This alliance will allow Raymark to provide a complete retail-specific ERP solution that will connect the entire supply chain in a productive, fast-moving flow to streamline operations and reduce the cost of doing business.

By integrating key modules from Raymark’s Xpert-Series™ solution, such as Merchandise Planning and Replenishment, with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, we are combining Raymark’s best-of-breed with Microsoft’s consumer-driven Forecasting, Accounting, and ERP expertise. This will help retailers simplify sales and purchasing, as well as tailor workflow processes to meet specific needs and improve inventory management. Raymark’s retail-focused ERP offering will help decision-makers gain deeper insight into their business performance and improve efficiency across the board, making it a complete solution for managing their retail chain.

The RIS News Software Leaderboard, often referred to as the Oscars of retail technology, has named Raymark among the top 20 "most valuable vendors" in the retail software industry.

Raymark also made the top ten among mid-size vendors, as well as being singled-out as one of the leaders in Apparel/Footwear.

Although revenue plays a factor in the ranking, a large portion of the weight behind it comes from Customer Satisfaction. According to Joe Skorupa, Editor-in-Chief of the Leaderboard, vendors that make the list are the best-of-the-best.

We are proud to be among the leaders in our industry and are pleased to be referred so highly by those who matter most to us - our customers.
