Crate and Barrel

By EX Squared
1 year ago

Crate & Barrel is an American chain of retail stores, specializing in housewares, indoor and outdoor furniture, and home accessories.

Crate & Barrel partnered with EX Squared during the opening of a new store in San Jose, Costa Rica, because they needed an experienced team to implement a combined Point of Sale (POS) and ERP system. Crate & Barrel was seeking a complete retail software solution to support POS transactions, efficient inventory management and purchasing.

We collaborated with Crate & Barrel to build a solution based upon Microsoft Dynamics LS NAV that would help them with all of their business objectives:

  • The robust, easy-to-use, Dynamics solution helped Crate & Barrel manage their operations efficiently from the corporate head office all the way to the in-store POS terminals.
  • The new back office systems provided efficient control of inventories and intelligent forecasting, which facilitated the structuring of inventory and import process (handling 15,000+ SKUs).
  • Crate & Barrel was able to analyze business insights and sync supply-chain processes with their headquarters, which lead to optimized merchandising strategy.
  • Crate & Barrel was now able to rely on automation to reduce workload, as inventory replenishment could now be done either manually or automatically.
  • The analytic tools powered by EX Squared allowed Crate & Barrel to send the right products to the right stores.
  • Through increased insight of their business processes, Crate & Barrel gained increased insight into their inventory, enabling them to deliver better service to their customers and faster responses to inventory questions. This also improved inventory turnover and generated a faster return on their technology and systems investment.
By partnering with EX Squared, Crate & Barrel was able to significantly improve their operational processes, which positively impacted their bottom line in the following ways:
  • Reduce inventory levels by up to 35%, and free up cash spend on inefficient inventory.
  • Improve agility in taking orders.
  • Streamline purchase order communication with suppliers.
  • Consolidate local operations, increasing the possibilities for future expansion in the region.
  • Reduction of stock markdowns and fewer stock-outs.
