Little Farms | Aralco Client since 2016
In December 2015, the Management Team at Little Farms Group, selected IRMCS to implement the Aralco Grocery Retail Management Software & POS Systems for their first retail unit in Singapore. After a formal tender process, Aralco Systems was selected as it provided a rapidly deployable platform, within budget and time constraints, delivering the inventory controls, operational efficiency with real time reporting from the POS to the Back Office System (BOS), supported by a comprehensive Reporting Module.
Additionally, Aralco Systems offers two essential features for Little Farms with its ready interfaces – Digi weighing scale for in-store weight-price-labelling for random weight SKUs, and Honeywell in-counter scale/bar code scanner at the POS for scanning and selling products by weight.
The complete retail systems went live on the scheduled go live date and on budget. ”Little Farms Group allocated a 12-week roll out phase to ensure full optimization of the BOS Reporting Module and the subsequent interface of our eCommerce and Wholesale Divisions.
Worthy of note has been the responsiveness of the IRMCS’ Team during the pre-planning and implementation phases of the Aralco software – which allowed the efficiency of dual planning and problem solving to deliver the project on time.
Little Farms Group believes Aralco Retail Systems will “allow us to sustain a rapid operational growth due to the flexibility of the BOS interface to facilitate multiple retail units and business divisions”
