With around 50 Spar stores across central Scotland, Botterills are one of the leading independent convenience retailers in the country. After the recent acquisition of a site in Ayr on the busy Prestwick (Airport) Road, Botterills now operate their first fuel site.

Although the site previously had its own fuel billing system, there was no head office interface. As suppliers of the Retail Accounting System for the entire Group, Touchretail were tasked with developing a solution to enable head office to monitor and analyse the Fuel Accounts. The result is a bolt-on module to the Retail Accounting Customer Accounts which now enables Botterills head office to record every fuel transaction, including analysis of fuel type and mileage – both of which are stored on the VAT invoice.

Stock control at the Botterills warehouse has become more complex as the Group has grown. Touchretail have made customer-specified modifications to the Warehouse Stock System which will enable better sell-through of stock, in particular to utilise replacement or substitute lines for lines that are either no longer available or out of stock.

Bespoke software modifications by Touchretail enable clients to gain maximum benefit from initial software investment made as trading methods develop over time.
