关于客户
US Merchandise Inc. is one of the largest East Coast suppliers of household products to supermarkets and retail stores. The company has a diverse product line and caters to a diverse customer base. With its headquarters in Long Island, NY, US Merchandise employs 35 people and generates an annual revenue of over $10 million. The company operates in a dynamic retail environment where sales trend information is crucial. They were previously using an outdated System/36 application for 20 years, which was primarily geared towards processing orders rather than making distribution more efficient.
挑战
Previously, problems were abound in distribution management application, due to their old System/36 application. The company had been using the system for 20 years. The package was primarily geared towards processing orders, rather than making distribution more efficient. The company was also displeased with the systems limited inventory control and accounting capabilities. Three of its most important goals for a new software application were to implement an efficient distribution system, move to a paperless office and permit widespread access to sales and financial data.
解决方案
Using PowerERP, the company found that 90 percent of its most urgent needs were met right out of the box. With add-on capabilities, the software quickly became a perfect fit for US Merchandise’s specific environment. The implementation team from OmegaCube played a major role in creating a perfect “fit”, according to Evelyn Yalung, Controller. The capability of handling complex pricing allowed the company to manage various pricing types unique to a distribution environment. Using Point-of-sale hand-held applications, order processing time was significantly reduced, leading to increased sales. PowerERP provided valuable insights on sales trends and product lines, which were crucial for the dynamic retail environment. The accounting and sales managers, who previously spent a lot of time evaluating sales numbers, now have more time to focus on better customer support and new product introductions.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.
Case Study
Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.

Digital Retail Security Solutions
Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.
