Retail Manager Solutions is delighted to announce that WHSmith, one of the UK`s leading retail groups and household names, has successfully rolled out Metro Print Controller across its 1,200-store portfolio for the management and production of its self-adhesive stickering. The solution was rolled out to all stores in January 2016.
The solution replaces the WHS in-house developed system that was nearing its end of life and will be utilised across the entire retail estate. A key driver for the WHSmith project was the production and management of self-adhesive stickers, where specific stationery is used within stores to promote books. With Print Controller, the self-adhesive stickers are grouped, batched, and printed to optimise stationary usage, resulting in significant cost savings and a reduction in wasted stationary.
Print Controller forms part of RMS’ wider product set branded Metro, and enables the production of all styles of print materials, including shelf edge labels, stickers, barkers, talkers, and signage. Integration with ERP, price, and product information ensures accuracy and adherence to corporate branding and trading standards. Print Controller promotes productivity and mobility and can be used on PCs, handheld devices, and Tablets within the store environment.
