Despite criticisms in some ill-informed quarters, the Sales Based Replenishment program being driven by ACP Magazines and Network Services is working. I have first-hand evidence. Woman’s Day sold very well at Forest Hill on Monday last week, more than usual for a Monday. SBR noticed this and provided more stock – thus avoiding a certain sell-out by the end of the week. ACP wins. We win. We did not have to do anything to trigger extra stock.
Through the newsagent software company I own, Tower Systems, I have been involved in SBR since the first trials began in 2005. This latest incarnation is by far the best.
The experience with Woman’s Day this week is evidence of how proper use of point of sale software can help a newsagency increase sales.
We have got more stock from Network. Burkes Backyard .Were just about to move stock away from prime display ,if we have stock at sell out we move it from prime to other .Well done Network and S B R
SBR is working very well for us. No having to manually reorder, the stock turns up at the right time. Well done ACP and Tower Systems. Newsagents can only have one outcome from this.
