CORESense 5.10
The goal of the CORESense 5.10 release is to deliver greater productivity, automation, and control to clients in a number of areas. Highlights of the 5.10 include:
  • eBay auction automation and management - "LaunchPads" automate the process for auction listing and management. Check-out re-direct capabilities provide the opportunity to increase customer brand loyalty and to generate add-on sales.
  • Store credit management - new accounts receivable capabilities allow retailers to extend store credit and manage payments on credit accounts.
  • Pricing management - enhanced pricing management features help merchandisers create overarching pricing strategies, and apply special pricing rules for specific products and customers.
  • Brand access control - along with the current capability to manage multiple branded channels is a new capability to control an individual's ability to access information associated to those brands.
Beyond the productivity boosts, current clients will find a variety of new enhancements that will help them increase sales and reduce costs. For existing CORESense clients, upgrades to 5.10 have begun. All new customers are being implemented on 5.10.
