Dataworks

Dataworks is a software company that makes back-office systems for controlling inventory and purchasing. It has been building and supporting this software since 1986, and its customers run shops, restaurants and warehouses.

What Dataworks offers

• Purchase orders: a module for planning and placing orders with suppliers, tied through to payments.
• Warehousing: tracking what is held, used and ordered across storage sites.
• Recipes: a module for food and beverage operations that manage ingredients.
• Replenishment: support for restocking decisions.
• Markdowns and open-to-buy: tools for pricing reductions and purchasing budgets.

The modules are separate, so a customer can start with some and add others later. The software can connect to point-of-sale and accounting systems, and it can be run on-premises or hosted.

Who it works with

Specialty retailers and mid-market venues, including theme parks, casinos, museums, stadiums, resorts, hospitals and zoos. Both single sites and multi-site organisations are covered.
