Grids & Apparel |
A grid can be one- or two-dimensional, with up to 20 colors (rows) and 50 sizes (columns). An item can have up to 1,000 unique color/size combinations, each of which is called a cell. When a new item is set up, its grid (color/size) layout is also established. New items may also be set up by copying existing items and grids, reducing setup time and opportunities for errors.
Throughout CounterPoint, items can be viewed, processed, and printed in grid format. Using grids (instead of a large number of separate items) reduces the user effort and the computer resources required. |

Apparel
Apparel capabilities are woven throughout CounterPoint. CounterPoint offers the ease of use, features, and merchandising information essential for profitable soft goods retailing.
In soft goods, a single inventory item (a style ) can be stocked in multiple colors and sizes (or widths and lengths, etc.). Support is provided for one- or two-dimensional grids for tracking soft goods merchandise.

|
Barcodes |
Each cell for a gridded item can have a unique barcode. This feature allows goods to be scanned throughout the system, reducing entry time and errors. Cell barcodes may be entered by the user, automatically assigned by the system, or imported from the vendor (using the Data Interchange Option ).

Purchasing |
In Purchasing, gridded items can be quickly placed on order and easily tracked. Reorders may be calculated automatically by the system to meet model-stock levels, or entered manually. P.O.s may be printed in grid format on user-defined forms. Receivings are quick; only exceptions are entered.
For multi-location retailers, allocated P.O.s may be issued to a vendor, with deliveries intended for multiple locations. |
|
| |
During the entry of a purchase order, new vendors and items may be easily set up on-the-fly.
P.O. On-the-Go configurations allow the use of laptop computers at market for ordering merchandise and automatically updating home office records. |

Labels
Labels allows you to print hangtags or pressure-sensitive labels for ordered, received, on-hand, or on-sale goods. Labels may be generated on demand, or automatically as part of the ordering or receiving process.
User-defined labels can contain descriptive information, pricing, coded costs, and cell barcodes. A number of predefined label formats are provided that are compatible with standard labels.

Seasonal Items |

The Open to Buy Option allows you to enter merchandise plans by department and class or by vendor and department. Plans are by month, by store, and may be entered manually or derived from historical data. Views and reports of budgets, comparatives, actuals, and open-to-buy amounts are user-defined.

Merchandising Reports |
The Inventory application provides a series of merchandising reports that are valuable for analyzing groups of merchandise, such as vendors, categories (departments), or subcategories.
Merchandising reports provide essential information to make decisions on whether to markdown or reorder, and can be run for one location or multiple locations. Various reports are provided to focus on management information such as sales, unit movements, turn rates, GMROI, profitability, weeks of supply on-hand, and sell-thru-%. |
