How Unified Retail Management Supports Popup and Big Box Chains
A comprehensive retail management solution offers significant benefits to specialty retailers like you, including:
Integrated and Streamlined Warehouse Operations
As a popup or big box chain, you have distribution centers that you need quick access to. The ability to know what space is left for large inventory purchases and the ability to store those goods as soon as possible is an important part of your operations. The Magstar Total Warehouse application provides advantages like:
- Tight integration with the purchase order system that lets the warehouse plan activities in advance
- Bin location management logic that drastically cuts down on the “travel time” in the warehouse by automatically sorting picking document items in bin order
- The ability to run multiple warehouses on the same database to improve efficiencies through consolidation, combining goods from multiple shipping pallets into single pallets
- Handheld bar code scanning that allows employees to move more easily through the warehouse, enhancing stock visibility and determining inventory updates in real time
Stay Stocked, Even When Things Move Fast
Magstar’s Total Retail makes it possible to track products in real time and to ship them to locations where they will move fast. Being able to get your items into the store or online and in front of the buying customer efficiently is crucial to the success of popup or big box operations.
- Quickly identify understocked items that are selling fast
- Automate replenishment and distribution, both from warehouses and between stores
- Match inventory to the unique needs and demands of each of your locations
- Reduce order sizes on items that are slow sellers

Sell more by gathering deep, meaningful insights about the communities you serve and their tastes from location to location, utilizing your valuable shelf space for the products that sell best.
- Collect customer information into Magstar’s CRM just by scanning an ID
- Aggregate your sales data from the POS to track trends and seasonality

Manage Promotions Effectively Across Locations
