Fast-forward fulfilment with Sci-Net’s ERP>Retail

In today’s rapidly evolving furniture retail market, the ability to deliver an exceptional customer experience while maintaining operational efficiency is paramount. The convergence of online and offline channels, rising consumer expectations and complex supply chains mean that traditional retail models must be reimagined. At Sci-Net, we believe the future of furniture retail hinges on fast-forward fulfilment enabled by agile, integrated technology solutions — and that’s precisely what our ERP>Retail platform delivers.

The challenge: complexity meets customer demand
Furniture retail is inherently complex. With a vast range of SKUs, customisation options, multi-location inventories and big-ticket purchases requiring financing and delivery coordination, managing these variables manually or with disconnected systems can be costly and error-prone. Customers today expect seamless, transparent service with timely updates on order status, flexible payment options and reliable delivery windows. Falling short risks losing customer trust and market share.

The Sci-Net ERP>Retail advantage
Built within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and certified by Microsoft, ERP>Retail is a purpose-built, end-to-end ERP solution tailored specifically for furniture and flooring retailers. It is designed to fast-track fulfilment processes while ensuring accuracy, traceability and a superior customer experience.

Key to this is the platform’s seamless integration across all touchpoints — from product configuration and showroom sales to warehouse management, supplier ordering, finance and delivery scheduling. 

Whether selling from stock or managing back-to-back supplier orders, ERP>Retail empowers retailers to keep their customers informed throughout the journey with automated SMS and email notifications. This transparency builds trust and reduces service queries, freeing staff to focus on adding value.

Driving operational efficiency with automation
ERP>Retail harnesses the power of automation and integration to reduce manual tasks and accelerate decision-making. Barcoded warehouse management streamlines picking and packing, while container and landed cost management optimise supply chain logistics and cost control.

Retailers can also benefit from real-time analytics and reporting that provide insight into sales trends, inventory levels and channel performance, enabling proactive management and continuous improvement.

Empowering retailers to thrive in a multi-channel world
The modern furniture retailer must excel across multiple sales channels – showroom, ecommerce, marketplaces and trade. ERP>Retail’s e-commerce integration framework allows for consistent pricing, promotions, and stock visibility across channels, delivering a true omnichannel experience.

Moreover, the platform’s configurator and option management features cater to the bespoke nature of furniture retail, enabling sales teams to upsell and tailor products to customer preferences with ease.

A proven partner with a track record of success

With over 30 years’ experience and a steadfast commitment to integrity, transparency and customer centricity, Sci-Net has delivered transformational ERP solutions to some of the UK’s leading furniture and flooring retailers. Our approach combines deep industry expertise with cutting-edge technology to drive operational excellence and empower businesses to grow sustainably.

Looking ahead, we see fast-forward fulfilment as the defining factor in furniture retail’s next chapter – where agility, integration and customer empowerment converge. ERP>Retail is your platform to make this future a reality.
