THE STARTING POINTA new system.
From source exports
A new system.
A complicated last mile.
Quimby’s Bookstore, a cherished Chicago institution, needed to move from its legacy point-of-sale system to Ricochet Consignment. The challenge was the last mile: getting complex inventory and consignor records accurately mapped and integrated into the new platform.
A successful launch depended on more than transferring rows. The bookstore needed the relationships between individual products and their consignors to carry through correctly.
