Hamleys
heads to Dubai and Kuwait with VCSTIMELESS
Hamleys
selects VCSTIMELESS to support its international
franchise strategy
Iconic
London toy retailer, Hamleys, first opened its doors
for business in 1760. Since then it has developed
an international reputation for its magical atmosphere,
choice of products and spectacular window displays.
As part of its strategically planned international
growth model, Hamleys is opening a series of franchised ‘flagship’ style
stores around the world, starting with Kuwait in February
2008 and Dubai in September 2008.
In order to support this expansion,
Hamleys needed a sales
and purchase order system to enable international
franchise partners to place orders with Hamleys of London for its own-brand stock items. Hamleys selected solutions from VCSTIMELESS to manage the
entire stock import and sales
process including
order generation, transportation, customs documentation,
delivery, invoice matching and payment.
Hamleys required
an international software provider whose product
functionality, installation and support
services reinforce their positioning as a retailer
of fine toys. Hamleys selected VCSTIMELESS for its
robust,
easy-to-use solution and international
24/7 help desk.
The VCSTIMELESS solution will be interfaced
to Hamleys’ financial reporting software and
third party carrier systems.
