Hank's Fine Furniture

Mt. Arlington, NJ – September 2010 – STORIS Management Systems, a leading supplier of Retail Solutions and Services for Big Ticket retailers, announced today that Hank’s Fine Furniture is processing live on the Vision R8.7 software solution. Hank’s is headquartered in Sherwood, Arkansas with locations in Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, Alabama and Florida. 

 

Hank Browne, Owner at Hank’s Fine Furniture explains their selection process, and the reasons for choosing STORIS: “When shopping for a new software company, we had several things that we considered top priority. We wanted a system that would not only help us track cost of merchandise but also the cost of flowing that merchandise from the factory to the showroom. It was also important for the system to be easy to learn for the new salespeople, as well as our current sales staff could easily transition to. We now have new employees that have been able to train on our system processes and begin selling in no time. In addition, STORIS is PCI compliant which was key for us since it’s required by new regulations.”

 

Doug Culmone, COO at STORIS states, “We are proud to call Hank’s Fine Furniture a partner and we look forward to building a lasting relationship with this prestigious retailer for years to come.”

 

Browne is pleased with the smooth execution of the conversion process. “Conversion begins at the time the contract is signed with STORIS. They were quick to begin the process with us discussing any questions or concerns we had. They met with us weekly, and sometimes daily, to discuss the steps required to ensure the conversion went smoothly.” 

 

Hank’s Fine Furniture is already reaping the benefits from Vision R8.7, including EIS Reporting, providing executives with crucial analytical information in user-friendly graphic visualizations and spreadsheets. “EIS provides us with the instant business intelligence that previously took hours to pull together,” Browne states. Hank’s also anticipates STORIS’ Mobile Vision WiFi technology to improve their customer’s shopping experience. Mobile Vision enables salespeople to instantly gain access to product descriptions, pricing, inventory, and customer information, via a handheld dynamic device. “We envision that Mobile Vision will help to improve our customer service by providing our salespeople with the ability to check inventory on the fly, and much more, without leaving the customers side,” Browne concludes.
