AkzoNobel ~ formerly ICI Paints

AkzoNobwl is one of Canada’s largest paint and wallpaper retailers. They take that responsibility seriously. In order to communicate with the consumer, AkzoNobel uses information posters, lifestyle graphics, contractor signage, point of purchase signage, point of purchase hardware, window graphics and so much more. All this has to be ordered for specific stores and maintained for individual stores on an ongoing basis. SOS provides the framework to support ordering and managing all this stuff across the entire store network.

The AkzoNobel merchandising professional can log ointo the SOS site where over 100 items, ranging from shelf hardware to display board accents, are online, in view, and ready for release. SOS shows them what store ordered what, when they got it, how it got there and how many times have they needed it. Online ordering, online approval, online inventory, online tracking - all at their fingertips.

Gone are the days of: Who did this last? How do I order this? Do we have any? What does it look like? Do the stores know what they ordered? Are we tracking these costs?

It’s all just quite simply good to go!
