A Canadian specialty retail group has run its stores, distribution centres and head office on Cybex systems for twenty years, on its own SQL Server, with its own code. This is what is live there today, and what was added in the last twelve months.
Every item below is in daily use by store, distribution or head-office staff. Nothing on this page is a prototype.
Windows and mobile POS across the chain with integrated card payments, loyalty points, gift cards and a dedicated kiosk tablet.
Product information management with the size matrix drill, style cards with size-family consolidation, the monthly merchandise plan with open-to-buy from open orders.
Store stock planner, store-to-store rebalancing with five dialog parameters, DC flow and labour productivity, replenishment lanes to every store.
Audit fact loaded nightly with exception flags, cash-out variances, tender reconciliation and a general-ledger journal.
Shopify order and product download to the cloud database, web order import, omnichannel product availability with a web floor.
Thirty-plus governed datasets, a feature store of site, size and season indices, static executive insights refreshed nightly and a dynamic insights engine with sixteen briefs.
Engine rebuilt with district, DC exclusion and skip-if-DC-stock rules; dialog defaults for the buyers; production scripts prepared.
Flow, labour and lane datasets with cost and retail per movement leg; the Distribution Centre series and its guide.
Audit fact, exception flags, cash-out variances, GL journal and the weekly datasets for loss prevention.
Datasets and briefs for merchandise plan, size curves, DC, allocation and audit; five executive pages generated from live data.
Stages, each invoiced on project days and consulting days at one blended rate, each ending with something in production. The retailer's team works alongside Cybex and keeps the code.
