In this blogpost we look at why Crew Clothing chose Archean from Retail247 as their stock management system, and how they use it.
After seeing the benefit of working with Retail247 at Warehouse Oasis, Richard Surman was quick to engage with our services when he assumed his role as Head of IT at Crew Clothing. Since our partnership began, multiple initiatives around the deployment of Origin (our PIM solution), and Archean (our stock management system) have been successfully implemented. Retail247 have become an integral part of the Crew Clothing technology journey.
Due to outdated legacy systems, Crew Clothing didn’t have a consolidated view of their stock. This meant the brand needed a new platform to become their single repository of stock information. Crew Clothing chose to build upon their existing relationship with Retail247, and selected Archean as their stock management platform.
Key Features of Archean, our stock management system
Archean consists of the following modules:
- Archean Core – delivers high volume transaction processing and maintains stock positions at site/sku/state level
- Archean Move – our solution for stock movement transaction creation
- Archean RFID – the module for store-based RFID counting
- Archean Demand – brings replenishment determination to Archean
- Archean Count – delivers a solution for traditional, barcode-based stock takes
- Archean Orchestrate – delivers full order management capability to Archean
Key results Crew Clothing have seen
Archean has achieved significant results since implementation, successfully reducing store staff processing times by 70%. The stock management system has also proven to be instrumental in enabling Crew Clothing to optimise DC space and improve pick efficiency. Over 20 million stock records have been processed to date, and over 1 million stock positions have been maintained.
What do Crew Clothing say?
“Deploying Archean has enabled our legacy environment, bringing consistency and visibility to our stock management process. Working with our existing legacy solutions was challenging and the task of full integration seemed overwhelming, but this process was made easier by the pragmatic and experienced team at Retail247.” – Richard Surman, Head of IT
“Archean saves us so much time alongside improving stock accuracy. It’s a simple platform which is really user friendly, I’ve trained the whole team without issue.” – Store Manager, Crew Clothing Beaconsfield
