About Retail Express
Retail Express helps thousands of single, multi-store (from 1 to 100+) and enterprise retailers across Australia and New Zealand do and sell more. Retail Express integrates deeper than others, giving you more functionality, features & omnichannel capabilities out-of-the-box, without the fancy price tag of ERP solutions.
Retail Express makes scaling (and future-proofing) your business easy. Made by retailers for retailers, we understand what you need to make your business grow — and adapt. Using our smart, agile tools and integrations, you'll gain real-time visibility over all stores and channels.
Enjoy making informed business decisions to prevent losses, drive revenue and increase profit margins with powerful POS reporting software and analytics tools. With up-to-date data, staying on top of your business becomes a lot easier.
Streamline compact operations and automate processes to provide exceptional in-store and online customer experiences — and minimise expenses and labour time.
Our expert team designed Retail Express to deliver the omnichannel capabilities you and your customers demand. And as cloud-based software, you can enjoy 99.9% uptime.
Access data or make sales from any device, whether online, in-store at the POS or on the shop floor using a mobile device. If there’s no Internet, you can keep selling via our offline POS mode. Once you’re back online, all data will be immediately synced.
Retail Express integrates with popular eCommerce, inventory, fulfilment, accounting and marketing platforms, so you can get up and running sooner, using the tools you love to use.

A Fantastic System for all Retailers, big and small

From the initial Sales manager, to the Implementation Manager.... all staff were fantastic, enthusiastic and more than capable of handling any questions/issues I had.
Pros
The easy to use system means my staff picked it up quickly.
The detailed Back of House reporting is a managers dream.
Cons
The only thing I've seen missing is an ability to sell an item via weight ($$/per kg), but it's minor. Our previous system never had this either so we're well placed to get around it. Would be great in the future.

The Overall Experience has been great very easy to transition . The On-boarding Program for Training was Great and the Access to Resources Fantastic. The Implementation Manager and other Points of Contact were all great to deal with.
Pros
Modern Cloud based system that has all the Reporting Requirements needed but all the Functionality of a Modern System in a Age of Technology Advancement . It seems as though it has been designed for this Purpose not the " that's something we are going to develop in the Future attitude" that other Systems seem to have.
Cons
At this stage I believe it is still the Honeymoon Period so just " Training Training Training" to get the Most out what we can Do with Retail Express

Excellent service, quick responses to queries, very helpful support. Updates are provided via overnight uploads done automatically with no downtime to your system. New update information is provided in detail via email. They respond well to customer suggestions and are constantly improving the system.
Pros
The implementation of this software is fantastic. A team of experts is available to help you transfer your database of stock, suppliers and customers with ease. Retail Express has a comprehensive knowledge database including video tutorials and instructions which all staff can access. The software is friendly, easy to use and navigate with email and internet integration.
Cons
Special customer orders are tricky to handle. We are yet to understand how to order/manage customer orders and are currently doing this through the lay by option which is difficult unless you have one staff member managing this are (IE: you can over order stock). Back orders are a little cumbersome but can be adapted to suit your business needs. Overall though the positives of this system outweigh the small negatives.

We have found that the lead up to going Live and the learning process has been very well supported by the Implementation Team. The tutorials are extremely helpful and very comprehensive. The responses to our emails are always very informative and the telephone conferences with an Australian based expert is ideal.
Pros
Retail Express is easy to use and integrates well across our online platform and accounting software
Cons
It would be very helpful if the accounting utilised both Cash and Accrual, not just Accrual.
