| The Channel Islands’ Co-op Ltd selects ARC Retail Business Intelligence from Manthan Systems to improve business performance. |
| 13 November 2008 , London, UK The Channel Islands’ Co-operative Society Ltd (CICS), the Co-operative Society’s retail and travel business in the Channel Islands, has partnered with Manthan Systems, a producer of analytic solutions for global retail and CPG organizations, to exploit its trading data for business improvement. CICS will deploy ARC Retail Business Intelligence, a performance management solution from Manthan Systems, as a enterprise retail data warehouse for data currently residing in different databases. ARC’s powerful analytic applications will create key management information reports, analysis, dashboards and scorecards for the CICS’s decision makers: merchandisers, planners, buyers, store and senior management. “Attracting enough customers to attain such fast growth over threMike Guest, IS Manager for CICS, said, “We have been looking for a solution for two or three years but there was nothing available specifically for retail that provided both an intuitive user interface that could be used by the whole organisation and an expansive wide set of reports pre-configured for a retail business. ARC’s retail data model and analytic applications will give us everything for both our food and non-food business needs in a single package, in the short term to consolidate our management reports and in the medium term to enable us to exploit the data held in our retail systems thereby providing the business insight we need without relying on analysts to develop bespoke solutions. ”Jim Hopley, Chief Executive continued, “The ARC solution will allow us to identify quickly what is working and what is not within our retail environment. The Channel Islands is not immune to the global economic downturn and reacting quickly to consumer actions will be paramount during this challenging time.” Steve Barker, Head of UK Operations at Manthan Systems, said, “Besides the powerful analytic capabilities, CICS was particularly attracted to ARC’s rapid deployment of only 14 weeks, which would save them several months in time and cost, in comparison to other solutions they evaluated.” CICS retain an experienced retail technology consultant, Chris Hughes, who looked at available solutions and a number of vendors were considered. Chris added, “ARC Retail Business Intelligence scored highly on its ability to deliver a faster ROI with pre-configured kpi’s, reports and dashboards that have been developed for retail”. |
