data conversion
Data conversion (or migration) is the one-way transport of data from one source to another, typically when implementing a new system or module. Becoming familiar with a new set of APIs and file formats for one time use can be time-consuming and risky. Do you have the resources and expertise to produce these critical data conversions in a timely manner? Do you have a methodology that can define meaningful requirements? Do you have a toolset to develop and test data conversions in a repeatable and trust-worthy manner? We do!! We’ve done this before and are familiar with many retail software solutions and industry standard formats. Minimize your risk and cost by relying on RIBA Retail to get it done right.
Application Integration
Application Integration is the interchange of data between any two systems --- whether the exchange is one time, every day, every minute, or on demand. Integrating all of your systems can be a daunting a task. How quickly can you integrate key systems with proper, complete, and accurate data flow? What architecture do you have in place to ensure data is moved continuously, uninterrupted, with absolute completeness? What mechanisms enable you to be alerted to errors or failure? RIBA Retail has the expertise and sophisticated tools (Transformer 2.0™) to execute these projects in a reliable and standardized architecture. RIBA Retail analysts can quickly secure the necessary knowledge needed from your internal experts, without having to tie them up to do the actual work, thus freeing up your valuable staff to do their jobs.
Custom Apps
When working with large ERP solutions, some processes can be difficult and time-consuming. ERP solutions are generic, designed for the masses, ultimately making certain processes lengthy and cumbersome. Entering a single P/O or new item may require paging through tens of windows and potentially hundreds of fields. The specific business rules your organization requires may not be properly enforced or automated. With a “Custom” app, we can design and build solutions tailored to your operations, shaving valuable time off your process and ensuring the integrity you need. Our seasoned analysts and technical foundation can build “Custom” apps to meet your needs and integrate with your ERP software. Check-out our PO Express App as an example. Enter new Purchase Orders and items in minutes with the business rules/validation you require and fully integrated with your ERP system. RIBA’s seasoned analysts and technology experts can provide a solution that meets your needs in a timely and cost effective manner.
data extraction - reporting
Retailers have a constant need for data extraction and reporting. Do you have limitations accessing all of your data? Can you share data across multiple systems or data sources? Do you have the tools and resources to react quickly to these demands? Even with the most sophisticated systems, retailers will always be looking for some data or report that is not accessible from any one system. With RIBA Retail’s expertise, strong technical resources and sophisticated tools, we can deliver the results in a timely and low cost manner. Getting the right information into your staff’s hands in a timely fashion can be critical to the success of your business.
