Frequently Asked Questions



 
Why do I need a MarginMate Store Management Solution?
All specialty retail is undergoing an escalating rate of change in supplier pricing, and is also experiencing a growing rate of specials, sales and other spot-price changes. For example, the carpeting sector of the floor covering industry is facing record numbers of price changes due to fluctuations in the cost of oil. Retailers are failing to accurately manage these changes due to the fact that little or no automated systems exist to ensure timely and consistent results. The simple manpower costs to accurately manage these changes on the store floor manually, plus the missed opportunity cost of the lag in price consistency with the current supplier costs are the primary reasons that this product is a necessity for success.

What equipment do I need to run MarginMate?
MarginMate Store Management Solutions are full turn-key solutions. No additional equipment is required.

How much time can I save by using MarginMate’s solutions?
Changing prices manually is a very labor intense activity, with a single person performing 60 changes per hour at best. MarginMate ESL solutions can update up to 50,000 prices per hour.

MarginMate HHS provides immediate access to new pricing once a scheduled change occurs.
