Retail software provider Storis and Tools2Win have partnered to provide retailers using Storis’ Unified Commerce Solution the ability to send key data to the Tools2Win Analytical Platform.
Tools2Win includes merchandising, inventory, marketing, and sales tools. Reports are delivered to a retailer’s inbox daily in a simple, easy-to-read, and visual format allowing retailers and their staff to quickly understand their data and identify business opportunities. An example output of a Tools2Win analysis is how much of a retailer's showroom should be dedicated to Upholstery, Motion, Dining, or Bedroom with one simple automated chart. Retailers can integrate their inventory and sales data from Storis to the Tools2Win platform to streamline analyses.
Jamie Winter, owner of Tools2Win comments, “We are excited to partner with Storis as the leading solution provider in the industry. We look forward to helping our mutual partners harness the full potential of their data by making strategic decisions fast, easy, and data driven.”
Tools2Win’s Tools2B1st program is an integral part of the Furniture 1st Buying Group and is utilized to provide comparative data to their Performance Group members. Storis has been supporting Furniture 1st retailers since 1990, and formally partnered with Furniture 1st in 2014. In the past 7 years, Storis has grown its Furniture 1st partners by 60%, now supporting over $400M in Furniture 1st retailer revenue and over 800 users.
Mutual partner Steger’s Furniture was the Early Adopter of the STORIS and Tools2Win Integration. Jack Steger, President of Steger’s Furniture in Pekin, IL commented on the value of the integration saying, “at Steger’s, we use the Sales Analysis Tool and the Open Purchase Order Reports almost every day. The integrated data provides a strong grasp of my business. I could not have imagined getting through the Pandemic without the Tools2Win and Storis integration.”
Storis’ Product Services Manager, Brian Parmigiano, led the integration. Parmigiano comments, “Utilizing the power of the data in STORIS is beneficial to our mutual retailers. The comparative data of the Tools2Win program helps our collective partners optimize their business insights.”
