Client: Hardy’s Health Stores.
The Challenge
This limitation left the stores vulnerable to out-of-stock situations and inefficient store processes, hampering their ability to meet customer demand effectively.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Hardy’s Health Stores adopted RPM’s cloud-based software solution. RPM’s software seamlessly connected to the stores’ POS systems and provided a comprehensive suite of sales and inventory management tools, including smarter ordering functionalities. The RPM ordering software automated the preparation of forecast orders for each of the group’s more than 100 suppliers.
