Who is RetailSystem<\/h1>\"collage

A smart, simpler way to organize businesses.<\/h4>

Back in 2004, when dial-up technology was commonplace, RetailSystem was designed as a genuine end-to-end cloud software solution for furniture and mattress retailers.<\/p>\n

While our leadership team has grown into a large group of diverse individuals worldwide, our motivation remains the same \u2013 simply to help our clients run their furniture businesses better.<\/p>\n

Our commitment to ongoing development ensures that we have the very best staff all over the world, and at every level of operation. <\/p>\n

Award-winning<\/h4>

As \u2018Best Software Supplier to the Furniture and Bed Industry\u2019 for sixteen consecutive years, we take pride in delivering an award winning service to over 2000 retailers.<\/p>\n

Established for 20 years<\/h4>

Our cloud-based solution to retailing software was the first to reach our clients\u2019 stores, so you can guarantee we\u2019ll always keep up with technology at no extra cost to you.<\/p>\n

Industry knowledge<\/h4>

Our team have all been part of furniture retail. So whether you are calling us for a demo, some extra training or to develop a new solution, you\u2019ll get a consistently high quality of service.

Meet the team<\/h6>

“As a manufacturer and retailer of fine sofas, we saw how powerful the RetailSystem EPOS could be for our retail locations. From the every day items to the complex furniture products with options \u2013 the cloud-based RetailSystem point-of-sale handled it beautifully; sales floor to stock and warehouse management. Having experienced it first-hand, and what value it can bring a retailer – we are now offering RetailSystem as a service offering to other furniture and bed retailers in South Africa so they can also enjoy the RetailSystem EPOS value. Would love to show you what I mean.<\/em>“<\/p>\n
