MOUNTAIN AIR - Verbier's largest Sport & Lifestyle Store - Microsoft's latest ERP solution including LS Retail POS with NAVTECH SUISSE
Description:
Mountain Air, Verbier's largest sports and lifestyle store, offers a diverse range of products and services, including retail, rentals, custom shoe fitting, a restaurant, a private members club, a hairdresser, and equipment repair and maintenance. Despite certain parts of the business operating independently as concessions, such as the rental department and the restaurant, the overall customer experience remains seamless and continuous, whether in-store or online. Customers do not perceive any limitations between the various concessions within the store; for instance, they can pick up items in the store and conveniently pay for them at the rental department.
To achieve this cohesive experience, the existing systems of the concession partners had to be integrated, particularly the rental and restaurant management systems, with Mountain Air's ERP, CRM, and loyalty systems. The ultimate aim was to establish a unified solution that enhances customer relationships and boosts employee productivity. The primary focus is on exceeding customer expectations and allocating more resources to sales and customer service.
After almost 40 years in business, Mountain Air has some seriously loyal customers. Their friends keep coming back year after year because they know how to create inspired experiences in the mountains. The ‘MÈTRES CLUB’ - an evolution of the Sporting Club Verbier - allows you to make the most of those experiences and reap more in-store benefits than ever before.
We have already assisted numerous companies in connecting their businesses, enabling them to make better decisions through cloud-based or on-premise solutions, primarily centered around well-connected customer data.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is an all-in-one ERP solution that has been proven millions of times over and helps mid-sized companies connect finance, sales, production, service, and operations to streamline business processes, improve customer interactions, and make better decisions.
