Touchretail have published an online video overview of the Rapidstock inventory software, which is a popular stock control system with fashion and footwear retailers.

Touchretail TV

We’ve added the video to our Touchretail TV collection of online videos, so that anyone can have a brief tour of the stock control system – even if you have no knowledge of such back office systems. More videos will follow that can be used as training videos for particular aspects of the Rapidstock software. Although Rapidstock is used in many types of non-food retail, its capacity to handle style, colour and size in a concise and easy to enter format make it especially suitable for fashion, sportswear, footwear and other stores that have multiple-aspect products.

Rapidstock integrates with other Touchretail products such as POS software, e-commerce interface module, Advanced Reporting Module and Retail Accounts.
