Lights4Living, one of the UK's largest online lighting retailers chooses Swan

22nd Feb 2011   In Swan Retail News

Lights4Living are the latest successful independent to choose Swan, and with a busy store in Bath and an increasingly active on-line presence, their requirements were both wide-ranging and very particular.

Integration with their website – via Swan’s incorporation of Sitemaker’s Liquidshop – was one of the key factors in their decision, while the ability to automate the purchasing process, provide visibility of stock and develop the system to meet specific requirements were all unique to Swan’s approach.

Store operations and warehouse management have been transformed by Swan’s core Stock and EPoS modules, with Customer Ordering and Delivery Management similarly enhanced, and the Webstore Integration module providing everything Lights4Living need for the operation of their on-line business.

Managing Director, Richard Hathaway, immediately benefited from the much reduced demands on his time – and the automation of the purchasing alone is expected to save at least £10,000 a year.

Swan’s training and the people who delivered it also earned generous praise, and Lights4Living are confident that their new system will make an on-going contribution to reducing costs, improving efficiency and increasing profitability.
