PRIAM handles all areas of fashion distribution and retail - all the normal selling, stock control, accounting, marketing, and database handling are provided by the PRIAM multi-channel ERP/CRM package.
Additionally, PRIAM allows for multi-dimensional products, i.e. styles that have multi-dimensional attributes such as size and colour. A unique article number (which can be bar coded) is generated from the style and its dimensions. Selling, re-ordering and analysis can all be handled at the style or article level.
Various depths of analysis are possible to allow for a broader view of sales and marketing success.
Over the years, PRIAM has been the system of choice for many fashion retailers selling through mail order, e-commerce and shops.
Latest technology
PRI-POS Point of Sale from PRIAM combines the ease of use of touch-screen technology with fully featured back office software.
PRI-POS can be used with a touch screen monitor, with a keyboard and mouse, just a keyboard or with a combination of all three - operators can choose whatever solution is most efficient for them.
Due to the speed and low cost of ISDN lines, a typical multi-shop PRI-POS system consists of shops linked by ISDN to a back office PRIAM system on an on-line basis. This is as fast as a leased line but much cheaper, as the line charges are only for the period in which screens are refreshed. Moreover, we have cases where up to 10 tills are connected through one ISDN line to a head office PRIAM system.
Obviously having dozens of shops online to the back office system offers many benefits. These include:
• Head office maintenance of the system
• Price and stock changes being made immediately throughout the
enterprise to all shops with only one central update
• Immediate head office view of stock and cash of the enterprise
• Ability to update and use a central customer database for offers or credit
• Ability for shops or head office to supply out of stock items to
customers on a mail order basis
• Reordering at any time of day

Chip & PIN
If you are in retail then you will have been through some big changes in recent years because of Chip and PIN Technology. From 2004 all EPOS systems in the UK had to become Chip and PIN capable, entailing an intelligent chip being used in the card verification process.
With the introduction of Chip and PIN there was a change of emphasis regarding credit card fraud. Previously the banks 'picked up the tab' regarding any fraudulent credit card transactions. However, now retailers who do not have Chip and PIN in place or are using systems that do not have EMV accreditation are liable for any fraud. This is a major change.
All PRI-POS systems are Chip and PIN capable and have EMV accreditation. You can rest assured that PRIAM will protect your investment in Point of Sale technology.
Hardware
The PRI-POS system will integrate with a number of different hardware configurations. We have partnerships with different EPOS hardware suppliers, which gives us the flexibility to provide alternative options based on 'best of breed' technology and competitive pricing.
