LOUISVILLE,KY.—Mega Group USA,the furniture,electronics and appliances buying group,has released a revamped merchandising application for any Internet-enabled device.
Mega RetailDeck,formerly called Mega Merchandiser,was redesigned to harness technological advances,the buying group said in a release,bringing"together all the moving pieces a retailer needs to efficiently merchandise,price,tag and sell their floors."
With the program,retailers can view multiple images,detailed specifications,related colors and accessories and more product information.Salespeople using the app can improve the consumer's in-store experience by helping them find the right brand,category,model number or desired features such as color and dimension,according to Mega.
Mega RetailDeck also puts all pricing guides side by side on the screen,including manufacturers suggested retail price,minimum advertised price and others along with competitors'pricing,giving retailers the opportunity to control so-called consumer showrooming.
Additional pricing and product availability is accessible through integration of information from distributors and vendors or by uploading individual point of sale data.The program also makes professional price tags in seconds without manual data entry and keeps the tags up to date by tracking everything about tagged products and alerting retailers whenever changes in the marketplace suggest a tag needs updating.
"This program makes it almost effortless for retailers to tag their stores the way they always have wanted to but were never able to in the past,"said Missy Hodges,appliance manager for Mega Group USA.
The app is positioned for seamless integration with the buying group's Premium Plus Mega WebFronts websites program for dealers,which now features product information from 700 vendors,including more than 360 furniture suppliers.
