Kookai selects Kewill to enable electronic trading

The UK operation of fashion chain Kookai has selected Kewill to supply and implement Kewill's MessageBroker Lite service to improve its reporting of business critical data.

MessageBroker Lite will enable Kookai to implement electronic trading with its concessions to support a drive for higher sales.

Daniel Price, Finance Director, Kookai, explained, “At the moment a lot of staff time and energy goes into collecting tickets, reprocessing and reconciling data. There is a risk involved that tickets aren't collected. The new Kewill system will improve accuracy when reporting information, save staff time, increase productivity and improve replenishment which should boost sales.”

Kewill MessageBroker Lite is a fully managed business to business (B2B) integration service providing business agility. Based on current best practice and state of the art technology the solution is an end to end, managed solution that frees users from the complexity and cost of implementing and maintaining B2B integration. Kookai decided to invest in the system, as a large amount of its business comes from concessions in department stores. Kookai doesn't currently have a direct link with the EPoS where its concessions are located, and a Kookai product can be purchased at any till within a department store. When a garment is purchased, a ticket is removed, to be collected by a Kookai employee at the end of the day. This information is then entered into Kookai's own back office system, where the information is also reconciled with the department store's data. This is a timely process as the tickets can be anywhere in the store.
