Growing with Retail Pro
Comvita’s origins are in the wholesale and distribution of natural health and skincare products. With their products a proven success, the decision was made to expand their business to retail outlets, starting with England. Comvita required an EPOS system that would be integral to its business and mutually beneficial to both its customers and employees. Upon opening their flagship store in London Comvita looked to Retail Pro to provide them with a system that would meet all of their requirements.
Flexibility is Key

Main goal behind Comvita’s requirements for a retail software solution
was to retain the organic responsiveness to the outside world in their business operations, just like they do in their products. To ensure that their business needs were met, Comvita needed an EPOS system to centralize their retail operations, while offering the flexibility
to instantly respond to current business needs. They found Retail Pro interface exceptionally easy to configure, even without technical support, thus making adapting look and feel of the system very easy. Retail Pro reporting capability offered a lot of flexibility – a must in empowering staff at various levels in the company to make informed decisions which affect the day to day operations. Speed and flexibility were also essential when carrying out price changes and creating new promotions. The Retail Pro solution more than met this requirement.
With staff and customer satisfaction at stake, Comvita chose Retail Pro for their operations, achieving flexibility in the way they do business and gaining a clear competitive advantage in today’s fast-paced retail landscape.
