Yet, according to our recent survey, overhalf the operators in the wholesaleindustry are still trying to run a businesson aging technology. Software that doesnot integrate. Software that doesn’tprovide a comprehensive, real-time viewof the organisation. Software that cannotproduce the reports required for effectivedecisions in today’s economy.

That means software that can’t tell youwhen you’re close to running out ofstock. Or how you might be able to fulfilan extraordinary order. Or collate multi-branch orders for mightier buying power.Or react quickly to trends to keep yourcustomers satisfied and loyal.

But worse than this: most operators arerelying on software that is based onaging technology platforms that thedevelopers are no longer investing in.Software that is dying. Which leavestheir businesses highly vulnerable.

That is why STL Technology Solutionshas invested over £1.6m to bring thelatest technology to the cash & carryand delivered wholesale industry.

First, we extensively polled theindustry to find out exactly whatoperators need business softwareto do.

Then, using the very latestMicrosoft tools available, wedeveloped the most advancedmerchandise management,sales order processing,web-ordering, picking andtilling solutions available forthe wholesale sector.

Because we worked, and continue towork, in consultation with the industry,we have designed practical, innovative,integrate-able solutions that substantiallyexceed the specifications of competitivepackages.

Because STL software is based on thelatest development tools, it is easier and

more cost-effective to install,use and manage.

It is also highly customisableso we can make it a reallyneat fit for your particularbusiness.

As a result, an STL solutioncan make picking and orderprocessing quicker, easierand more transparent. It cantailor reports to suit yourrequirements. It can give youstock visibility and buyingimpact like never before.

But, as nine of the UK’s top 30wholesalers - such as Parfetts andDhamecha – have discovered, STL’ssolutions do more than generatestunning operational efficiencies. Morestrategically, STL’s powerful yet flexiblereporting tools give customers the abilityto collate and query cross-organisationalinformation, to obtain the intelligencethey need to explore opportunities andmake competition-beating plans for thefuture.

And, because they are based on ‘open’technology with a solid roadmap, STL’ssolutions maximise your options forfuture extensions and integrations thatwill ensure you can follow those plans allthe way through.

NOW, THAT’S AN IDEATHAT WILL AGE NICELY.

I.T. AIN’T CHEESEWine does, certainly. Cheese can, too. Even many people, for that matter.They all improve with age. But the same can’t be said for information technology.You wouldn’t be seen dead with a brick-sized mobile phone or a dial-faced deskphone, today, would you?
