With over 700 stores throughout the UK, Moss Pharmacy is the country's third largest and a fast growing pharmacy group. Scholl, now part of Moss Pharmacy, the retail division of the European healthcare and pharmaceutical distribution company Alliance UniChem International plc, has 57 prime retail locations throughout UK and Ireland and their focus is on chiropody services, footcare and footwear.

In choosing an EPoS and Retail management system to meet the demands of these prime outlets, they required a solution that would prove to be
easy to use and so keep training costs lower, scaleable and fast to install, to meet the targets for complete installation at all 57 sites and also fast, powerful, yet flexible to ensure the Head office obtained the information needed to manage the business, but also allowing each Branch to operate freely. It was also important that each shop had visibility of stock levels at all other shops at all times.

Said David Wylde, Supply Chain Manager at Scholl "We needed an e-Retail solution which was reliable, fast and user-friendly. Thanks to the technological leadership at Du Maurier, we have just that."

Having reviewed several Retail solutions in the marketplace, Scholl chose the StorePro™ Retail Suite from Du Maurier. StorePro provides a fast, simple to use ePoS with in-store and head office communications, stock control and tracking with on-line credit card authorisation & cheque guarantee. All this alongside full sales analysis and data transfer to host systems. The EPoS Till operation is specially designed for the procedural nature of till operation, minimising and simplifying keystrokes. Included is full barcode scanning options and on-line links to TRANSAX for cheque and cheque card authorisation.
