Arnotts wins retail award for €6m programme
Arnotts has claimed top prize for the application of technology in the Retail and Distribution Sector at the first Annual BT Inspired IT Awards in Dublin recently.
The award recognises Arnotts’ major investment programme in building a state of the art technology framework for its stores.
The €6m euro investment gives the group up to date information on areas such as stock control, purchasing, management information and sales.
This project includes state of the art merchandising management processes and onsite radio frequency technology. It will place the group in a very strong position to realise its strategic objectives of redeveloping the Henry Street store into Europe’s leading city centre retail complex in excess of one million square feet.
Accepting the award, Paul Dickson, director of information systems at Arnotts said: "Over the past 12 months Arnotts has invested heavily in bringing its technology up to the standards expected of one of Ireland’s leading retailers. We are very pleased to have our strategy for technology recognised publicly in winning this prestigious award."
The Awards scheme was created by iReach, Ireland’s leading IT research and market intelligence company and acknowledges the role of heads of IT and their teams in demonstrating business value creation through the inspired use of IT in Ireland.
