Fashion Retail

Every Store. Every Channel. One Connected Set of Systems.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Fashion Retail

Retail runs on speed, accuracy and the customer in front of you. A sale at the till has to update stock, pricing, promotions and the ledger at once, and a shopper expects the same price, the same stock and the same service whether they buy in store, online or through a sales rep. When POS, e-commerce, warehouse and finance systems are separate, stock figures drift, prices differ between stores, and month-end turns into reconciliation. 


SL Information Solutions has served Malaysian businesses since 1984, with more than 100 customers across industries. In retail it supports businesses ranging from general goods, fresh food and kitchenware to luxury and fast fashion, such as Club 21 and Valiram. Its portfolio covers the full retail chain: Pronto Xi with its native Retail POS for general and specialty retail, Infor M3 Retail Fashion for large fashion enterprises, a mobility suite, AI-driven document and workflow automation, customer communications, e-invoicing compliance, and the infrastructure and security to keep every store trading.

FAQ

Understanding Fashion Retail

Do we need to replace our whole system to get these benefits, or can we add pieces at a time?

Most retailers start with the pain point costing them the most today — often store POS, stock accuracy (StockIT) or manual AP/AR — and add other pieces over time. The ERP is the backbone, but the mobility and automation tools can often be layered on incrementally. 

It depends on scale and sector. Pronto Xi, with its native Retail POS, suits SMEs and growing retailers across general, specialty and fashion retail. Infor M3 Retail Fashion is positioned for large fashion enterprises covering design, sourcing, distribution, manufacturing, private brand retail and wholesale. [SL Information can assess which fits your specific operation.] 

It is part of the ERP. In Pronto Xi, every sale creates a sales order, adjusts available stock and posts to the general ledger in real time, with no overnight batch.

Offline POS lets staff keep processing sales during an outage, and transactions sync to the main server when the connection returns. 

Yes — pricing and a rule-based promotion engine are managed centrally, scheduled to start and stop automatically, and applied consistently across stores and channels. 

Yes — staff can check stock in other stores and warehouses in real time and arrange transfers, and head office sees a consolidated live view of stock across the network. 

Yes — Infor M3 Retail Fashion supports style-colour-size variants, seasons and collections, and allocation and replenishment for variant-heavy assortments, and Pronto Xi supports matrix items and style/colour/size allocation. 

Yes — Mountaintop e-Invoice Middleware connects whatever ERP you run to LHDN’s MyInvois platform for compliant submission, which applies to retailers the same as any other business above the compliance threshold. 

That’s exactly what SmartLogic (AP) and Reclaw (AR) are for — AI-based data extraction and matching that removes manual re-keying from supplier invoices and trade collections. 

It depends on scope — number of stores, tills, SKUs, channels and integrations involved. In Malaysia, a typica ERP Implementation with retail module takes at least 3-6 months.
