The Original Factory Shop decided in early 2015 to select Mi9 Retail's merchandising and business intelligence solution to replace its legacy infrastructure.  A key factor in The Original Factory Shop's decision to select Mi9 Retail was a high level of confidence that Mi9 Retail could deliver the new systems in time for the 2015 holiday season to bring meaningful visibility into shopper behavior, product performance and vendor reliability.  Mi9 Retail not only delivered the systems on time, but the business users immediately realized benefits from the streamlined user interface as well as from robust tools that eliminated manual analysis using spreadsheets.

"The Mi9 Retail team met our aggressive implementation schedule and delivered a high-quality retail merchandising and analytics system.  The solution also easily integrated with our current business systems without requiring costly and time consuming software customizations," commented Mike Quintana, Supply Chain & IT Director of The Original Factory Shop.  "In addition, Mi9 Merchant has modernized our operations, empowering us to align our business operations with the needs of our customers and provide the right merchandise in the right place at the right time."
