Jewellery retailer Monica Vindader has chosen Pursuit software for its Spanish franchise network.

The Pursuit retail sales and management software utilises the Smartlinks module, which saves on time by automatically selecting stock and ordering. Product range information is held on a central database and can be accessed by the franchisees, updating prices and altering stock levels every time something new is added.

Monica Vinader director Gabriela Vinader said Pursuit was the natural choice for them. She said: “We chose Pursuit to have an integrated system across our entire network. The changes they have made to their programme, including some bespoke reporting, has been crucial to allow us to manage orders and inventory across all of the shop.”

Pursuit will now feature in Monica’s Vinader’s growing portfolio of Spanish franchisees, including a new store set to open in San Sebastian this summer, and following previous 2009 openings in Madrid in May and Seville in November.
