One of the main challenges in the footwear industry is being able to manage your entire inventory according to brands, seasons, and styles, down to its color and size.
With Aralco Retail Systems for footwear stores, it keeps your inventory organized and allows for fast retrieval of data on inventory status and sales performance at any time.

With this feature, you no longer need to create different product codes for each color and size of the same style which is tedious and cumbersome.
Separate dimension tables for SIZES can be created such as Ladies' Shoe, Men's Footwear, Baby's Shoe and etc.
Definable Size Tables | Definable Size Values |
Ladies' Shoe | EU35½, EU36, EU37, EU37½, EU38, EU39, EU39½, EU40, EU41, EU42 |

The second dimension table and its values can be set up for COLOR such as Sky Blue, Navy Blue, Wine Red, etc. and the system allows you to attach a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 4 dimension tables to a product.
