Regardless of whether you are selling goods or services, careful management of your pricing margins is important.  When your business comprises a group of stores, it is ESSENTIAL.  Bas-X provides retail groups the tools necessary to set and maintain pricing strategies across differing markets, competition, demographics, and environments.  Together with Bas-X BI (Business Intelligence Tools) price optimisation can be utilised to deliver sales growth and simultaneously protect and improve margins.

Retailers today need to be competitive without endangering their bottom line.  Bas-X provides tools for the business to develop and implement effective strategies to utilise promotions, deals, multi-buys and rebates aggressively, yet protect and improve margins.  Volume growth plus margin is retail utopia.

Many reports exist stating that Multi-buy promotions are an increasingly popular alternative to the standard discount pricing strategies, especially for retailers. Rather than knock 25 percent off the price of a product, some retailers are choosing to offer "buy one, get one free" or "buy three for the price of two" promotions to consumers. This strategy is driven by statistics that indicate that such promotions are often so tremendously popular that the volume of sales outweighs the cost of the discount given. Business observers point out that many multi-buy promotions are made economical by the hidden savings that can be realized through them.

POS systems that support multi-buys recognize a second or third pack and automatically adjust the transaction total to value of the Multi-buy.

Bas-Xplus includes tools to enable groups to track their Supplier Rebate entitlements linking them to promotional calendars for both scanned and off-invoice promotions.  Never miss a supplier rebate again.

Bas-XPlus Weigh Scales provides the Group Manager with the tools to manage all scale pricing, nutritional and ingredients information from the group office.  Bas-XPlus provides the mechanism to generate and send the information to stores.  Client side software processes the information and communicates it directly to the in-store scales.  Pop-up messages are conveniently displayed at store level instructing the user when scale information is updated.
