Løsningen
ColumbusRetail løsning er bygget på Dynamics AX for Retail fra Microsoft. Som en helhetsløsning kan ColumbusRetail koble sammen alle kritiske salgs- og kontrollprosesser med ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) og økonomi i en omfattende løsning som skaper verdier i alle deler av virksomheten.
AX for Retail er kjernen i ColumbusRetail-løsningen og utnytter hele Microsofts produktutvalg, deriblant Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SharePoint Server, Microsoft Exchange Server og Microsoft Office.
Columbus har utvidet dette fundamentet med spesifikk funksjonalitet for detaljhandelskjeden, inkludert omfattende salgsverktøy, lager, personalforvaltning, handel og e-handel og forretningsintelligens – alt basert på Microsofts teknologi og fullt integrert. ColumbusRetail har en unik struktur som gjør at oppgraderinger og forbedringer er enkelt og kostnadseffektivt å vedlikeholde.
