Business Wire
Island Pacific Systems, Inc. (Island Pacific), a 100% owned
subsidiary of 3Q Holdings Limited (ASX: TQH), announced today that
it has signed an agreement for Island Pacific Mobile with
The Dune Group, a major UK fashion footwear retailer with over 200
stores and concessions in prime locations across the UK and Europe.
The Dune Group currently uses the Island Pacific solutions across
its Retail, Web, Mail order, International and Wholesale channels
for the management of stock. Recently they made the decision to
invest in the Island Pacific Mobile solution for use within their
retail stores. The Island Pacific Mobile application will be used
on the iPod Touch and will allow Dune store employees to better
share product information and availability with the customers from
the website and/or another store.
James Cox, COO at The Dune Group, explains, “We have a customer
base which is extremely loyal to the Dune Brand and we want to
ensure we give them the highest level of customer service possible.
We aim to continually improve the in-store experience, enabling a
tighter integration between all channels and to ensure that the
customer leaves the store knowing they have experienced the best
customer service possible. Introducing Island Pacific Mobile into
our retail stores means that the sales assistant has invaluable
information at their finger tips. Initially we will be providing a
real time stock inquiry and the ability to purchase stock directly
from alternative Dune stores or the Dune website. Long-term we have
some very exciting initiatives planned for the Island Pacific
Mobile application.”
Mike Dotson, MD of Island Pacific Europe, comments, “Island
Pacific Mobile is the latest in our new and exciting applications
available to our existing and new customers. The solution has been
developed as a direct reaction to the marketplace. The beauty of
the product is we provide a standard solution which is continually
evolving to meet the ever increasing demands of the retailers’
needs and the customers they serve whether that be customer data
capture, stock availability and ordering, price information or real
time view of sales across the business.”
