SmartSuite: A Connected Retail Technology Ecosystem

A core theme of Island Pacific’s presence at NRF is its SmartSuite retail platform. This is a connected ecosystem of tools that work together.

SmartSuite helps retailers unify data and operations across functions. Key components include:

Merchandise Management

This system helps retailers manage products from purchase to sale. It ensures inventory aligns with demand. It also supports:

  Using better merchandise management, teams avoid overstocking and understocking errors.

Order Management

The Order Management solution ties together orders from every channel:

• Online stores

• Physical stores

• Marketplaces

• Mobile apps
  It enables fulfilment models like buy online, pick up in store (BOPIS) and ship-from-store.

Retailers generate vast amounts of data every day. Island Pacific’s Business Intelligence tools turn that data into insights. These insights help teams make informed decisions faster.

Island Pacific + Workday Partnership

How Island Pacific Solves Common Retail Challenges

Here are some ways Island Pacific’s technology addresses real retail issues:

Better Demand Planning and Forecasting

Retailers struggle to forecast demand accurately. Island Pacific supports planning with tools that pull data from cross-channel sales, seasonal trends, and consumer behavior. This reduces guesswork and error.

Unified Inventory Across Channels

Inventory visibility is critical for omnichannel success. When systems are disconnected, retailers risk stockouts or oversupply. Island Pacific synchronises inventory across all locations and channels. This improves availability and customer confidence.

Improved Fulfilment and Customer Experience

Retailers can offer flexible fulfilment options. SmartSuite orchestrates orders from the optimal location based on inventory, cost and customer preference. This speed and accuracy elevate the customer experience.

Data-Enabled Decision-Making

Analytics and reporting help teams answer important questions:

• Which products are trending?

• Where are sales underperforming?

• How should stock be allocated?
  Better answers mean better planning and profit.

Integrated Financial and Operational Data

Through the Workday partnership, retailers gain a complete view of their business. Finance, HR, planning and retail operations come together. This alignment supports smarter investment and growth strategies.
