Case Study: Booths Supermarkets achieves streamlined operations and inventory control with LS Retail

Booths Supermarkets - Customer Case Study

Booths Supermarkets is a family-owned, upmarket chain of 28 stores in northwest England with £180m turnover and 2,500 staff. Its legacy DOS-based systems were focused on distribution and buying rather than modern store retailing, so Booths needed a flexible, integrated retail platform that would work with a planned head-office accounting upgrade and support tills, promotions, ordering, EDI and handheld data capture.

Booths implemented and customised Microsoft Dynamics One Solution for Retail—linking EPOS, central promotions, shelf-edge label printing, handheld ordering and EDI to its Unix distribution system and Microsoft tools—and migrated toward a single business view. The rollout delivered electronic multi-buys, reduced manual processing, stronger stock and sales controls, fast sales reconstruction and improved reporting; it handled variable-weight items and different distribution cycles, proved cost-effective, and is being extended with inventory and sales-based ordering algorithms.
