Island Pacific Software Inks Deal With Bridal Salon
Carlsbad, Calif.-based Island Pacific (IP), which markets operations management software, has a license and services agreement with Ontario, Calif.-based retailer Group USA, which will use IP’s merchandise management system for financials, sales auditing, warehousing, ticketing and events modules. Group USA operates 22 Bridal Salon stores and other clothing, shoes and accessories stores in over 13 states and Puerto Rico. “This system will enhance our merchandise planning capabilities, give us greater inventory control and improve the process of distributing goods to our stores. The visibility and control that we will gain over merchandising transactions will positively impact the financial success at Group USA,” said Raffi Alleverdian, chief financial officer of Group USA. Island Pacific’s president, Steve Beck, added, “We provide high functionality at a price that makes sense for Group USA’s size and needs. And most importantly, our solution will grow with Group USA to 25, 50, 100 or 1,000 stores. It is a foundation that will support them no matter what the future holds for them.” —Robert McAllister
