Catapult Multi-StoreA Formula for SuccessMultistore Data Synchronization Catapult Enterprise Edition uses proven data synchronization technologies to bring inexpensive and powerful computing resources to all corners of your retail chain. The ability to share information effectively among store locations using these new resources has become an important competitive advantage for many leading retailers. Information where you need itThe main benefit of data distribution and synchronization is the increased access to information - businesses can hold all corporate data in a consolidated database at headquarters, while giving remote stores local access to the data they need most through Catapult's security configuration. This local availability increases efficiency for employees. Network access time is reduced when data is local, resulting in faster system response time and decreased connection costs. Instead of having to be continuously connected to the network in order to access data, employees can work in an occasionally connected environment where data is available locally, automatically connecting periodically to synchronize changes between headquarters and the stores. Centralization & DecentralizationRetailers today want the advantages of control promised by centralization along with the flexibility of response to customers brought by decentralization. They want store managers to take initiative to get results, yet require everyone to march to the same corporate strategy. Catapult allows retailers to find the balance between centralization and decentralization. |
