Family Gift Stores on Adjacent Seattle Piers Keep Tight Watch on Lean Inventories
Overview Ye Olde Curiosity Shop and Waterfront Landmark are two very different gift stores owned by the same couple, separated on adjacent piers of the Seattle, Washington waterfront, and now united by Microsoft Business Solutions Retail Management System. Where else can a person find a shrunken head, a pig with three tails, Native American artifacts, a ship made from Alaskan ivory, real mummies, and other exotic items from around the world? Tracking nearly 60,000 SKUs in two stores was becoming impossible on a 10-year-old system that could take hours to run vital reports. A Microsoft partner provided a solution that ties the stores together on a single server using fiber-optic cable strung along a sea wall, giving the business a "Pier-to-pier" network.
