Alan Bennett, Platinum's IT officer, says : "For many years InterNEDI has been instrumental in all our data communications transactions between Head Office and stores and is the backbone of all our transaction movements across the Group. The communications handshake between the centralized software application and multiple remote sites has been automated to such an extent that data retrieval is transparent and easy to control."
Platinum uses InterNEDI to connect all their stores with head office, allowing rapid distribution of point-of-sale information to all the shops, and making up-to-date sales and inventory management data and information available at head office. Platinum has been using InterNEDI since Version 1 was first released in 1999.
The Platinum Group is a South African retailer based in Cape Town, home to leading designer labels Jenni Button, Hilton Weiner, Urban Degree, Aca Joe and Vertigo. Platinum started in 1989 and launched the first Vertigo store in Rondebosch and has since moved aggressively into the forefront of clothing fashion, design and style in South Africa. The Group currently has 57 stores in prime locations in all the premier shopping centres across the country and has plans to expand, both locally and internationally.
