UST Global had been contracted by Shoppers Stop in 2009 to support their Merchandise Management System, which they bought from JDA. In the year 2010, Shoppers Stop chose UST for their live ERP upgrade, which UST managed to complete well within stipulated time and with exacting quality. Over these past years, UST has done several system performance improvements, which gave a significant value addition to Shoppers Stop’s business. Some of the major ones are PICS Optimization (aka Perpetual Inventory Counting System), which has resulted in better inventory management and in turn reduced the inventory update task from 4-5 hours to less than 30 minutes and a Style Upload Facility that allows merchandisers to create bulk inventory in a more secure and faster way.
