Mothercare improves stock distribution systems

New platform is geared towards the retailer's international expansion

Mothercare wanted a more scalable stock distribution planning

Mothercare is to roll out a merchandise planning system to improve stock distribution and accommodate international growth.

The Torex-supplied system is designed to enhance the retailer’s existing stock distribution planning process by addingg a scalable module that can be extended as Mothercare grows internationally.

When choosing the system, Mothercare had to take into consideration some parts of its IT set-up, such as the two separate pre-season planning systems used for its international division following the acquisition of The Early Learning Centre.

The system will be rolled out over the coming months and operational by early 2010.
