PERSPECTIVES 2010 -- Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a
leading provider of enterprise business software solutions to the
midmarket and Global 1000 companies, today announced the company
has been named the leading vendor of Point-of-Sale (POS) software
to top specialty soft goods retailers in the new report, A
Retailer's Guide: POS Software for Softgoods Retailers, published
by global research and advisory firm IHL Group.
The report evaluated vendors of POS software installed among the
top 250 retailers in the specialty soft goods space and ranked the
top 10, with Epicor topping the list. Vendor rankings were based on
the following criteria: Number of POS licenses, the combined
revenue of their customers, and total number of customers in the
top 250. When it comes to POS software solutions for soft goods
retailers, the report found Epicor has more retail clients,
installations, and managed retail revenue than Micros, Oracle, JDA,
SAP, or any other POS software provider.
The report features a profile of Epicor, which includes
highlights on Epicor Retail solutions, customers and strengths.
Commenting on Epicor's position in the POS soft goods retail space,
IHL analyst Jerry Sheldon said, "Epicor continues to enjoy a
leadership role in bringing top-tier solutions to the midmarket --
a market which has historically been underserved by the largest
vendors -- and also differentiates its solutions through support
for thick or thin client, wired or wireless retail POS deployments,
and CRM and Loss Prevention integration. Additionally, Epicor is
well served by its strong company reputation for customer service
and reliability, SaaS options and close Microsoft partnership."
The study features an overview of the economic, technology and
consumer trends shaping the retail sector as well as key business
challenges soft goods retailers seek to offset via the use of POS
technology. It also provides insights surrounding the top drivers
for POS purchasing decisions, including retailers' requirements
surrounding CRM, multi-channel selling, and PCI-DSS compliance.
"Epicor is proud to have many of the top names in the soft goods
retail space on our client list, and to be recognized as the leader
in POS in this sector by IHL," said Randy Tofteland, executive vice
president, retail software for Epicor. "As IHL so astutely
recognizes in its report -- specialty soft goods retailers are
extremely vulnerable to shifting trends. We're committed to
providing next generation POS solutions to help them maximize
competitive advantage, leverage windows of opportunity and mitigate
threats to succeed in today's challenging retail landscape."
