<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSkillNet\u2019s own Anurag Mehta was also featured in a spotlight section of the article with an opinion piece titled the \u2018The Point<\/strong> of the Sale\u2019 which is excerpted as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Honestly, point of sale is a misnomer: A sale is not at a single point; the selling has gone on for long before a transaction is register-ready, and the customer relationship will progress later as well. Case in point-People go to Disneyland already looking to feel enchanted, and delighted. When I buy a pink shimmering dress for my daughter at a Disney Store, sure, she feels like a princess, but I feel like a King too. It would be difficult to not be put off by surly service or less-than-a-magical experience. And this royal family does get into a huff when the register doesn\u2019t ding at a steady clip and is kept waiting.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n To keep the lines moving, a point-of-sale (POS) system has to work without a hitch<\/strong>. A store is not a store if there is no POS software at the register, so it has to be implemented on time<\/strong>. Every register has to connect to a back-office system so inventory-levels can be updated in real-time, and the princess at the register demands loyalty points, so the POS system has to be integrated<\/strong> with other systems. The store has to be kept well-stocked; new arrivals and store-specific discounts have to show up on the website, so process streamlining<\/strong> is also called for. And every store in every region across countries has to look and feel the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is therefore impossible to isolate the POS-or any system for that matter-from the user experience. That is the approach SkillNet takes when implementing, customizing, or integrating any system. For Disney Store<\/strong>, POS systems implementation and customization was done in a phased manner. In phase one, SkillNet drew on its point-of-sale and systems integration experience to help Disney Store achieve customer-centricity in 330 Stores in seven countries. Now, the goal is to enable consistent and enhanced user experience in more international locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As with Disney Store, SkillNet has worked with over 80 retailers worldwide<\/strong> and developed best practices in POS Inventory, Merchandising, E-commerce, and Multi-Channel integration. Retailers benefit also from our strong partnerships with industry-leading vendors such as Oracle Retail, Endeca, hybris, and Unbound Commerce.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n ***This excerpt is courtesy of Strat-e-gize Magazine, Fall 2011, Page 54.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SkillNet alongside Disney Store in a story run by Strat-e-gize […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6126,"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-2370","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
