“A merchandise management system (MMS) is a software solution used by retailers to manage various aspects of their merchandise, from procurement to sales. It serves as a comprehensive tool to streamline and automate the processes involved in managing inventory, pricing, promotions, and sales. Key functions of an MMS include:

  1. Inventory Management: Tracking stock levels, managing reorders, and optimizing stock turnover to ensure the right products are available at the right time without overstocking or stockouts.
  2. Procurement: Handling the process of purchasing goods from suppliers, including order placement, tracking, and receiving.
  3. Pricing and Promotions: Setting and adjusting prices based on various factors such as demand, seasonality, and competitor pricing. Managing promotional campaigns and discounts.
  4. Sales and Point of Sale (POS) Integration: Integrating with POS systems to capture sales data, process transactions, and provide real-time inventory updates.
  5. Reporting and Analytics: Providing insights through reports and analytics on sales performance, inventory levels, turnover rates, and other key metrics to help in decision-making.
  6. Supplier Management: Maintaining supplier information, managing relationships, and tracking supplier performance.
  7. Product Management: Managing product information, including descriptions, SKUs, categories, and attributes.
