Talbots selects Mi9 merchandising solutions

Hingham, Mass. - Talbots has selected Mi9 BI, Mi9 Merchant, and Sales Audit solutions with loss prevention software products to replace its existing core merchandising and inventory management systems. Talbots needed technology to help streamline the merchandising process, including the re-classifying of product hierarchy and centrally managing inventory across all channels.



After an extensive search, Talbots identified Mi9 Retail due to its advanced business intelligence capabilities that are built into the merchandising platform with a single data repository and easy-to-use interface, as well as its robust integration capabilities with third-party systems, including Talbots’ existing order management systems.



"After evaluating the leading retail solution providers serving our industry, we found Mi9 Retail's technology to be a technically sound, functionally rich and intuitive solution for our needs,” said John Kovac, CIO Talbots. “The Mi9 Daybook and Stock Ledger provide the accessibility and granularity of detail that both our merchant and finance teams need to effectively plan and manage our inventory. In addition, we believe that the technology Mi9 is delivering will help us improve our business processes and further enhance the integration of our systems. Moreover, Mi9 Retail has a demonstrated track record of high customer satisfaction and we're expecting to scale without need for an increase in business users or technical support staff."
