Standard with all InfoTouch Apparel™ platforms for; shoes, clothing, apparel, and accessories is the Matrix function. This function can save a business 100's of hours a year when receiving, tracking, reporting, and managing inventory to greater profitability and cash flow. In the apparel and fashion business the newest styles and fashions can literally jump off the shelves so to react accordingly a retailer has to quickly and efficiently; receive new items, create and manage them in their data base and reorder them as soon as a trend emerges. The key to knowing your margins, shrinkage, inventory turns, stock levels, and profits is a well managed up to date database for all your inventory items. With InfoTouch Apparel™ you can access the Matrix function which allows stores to easily create, update, and order related groups of items.  For example, shoes come in a standard set of sizes and widths, pants in standard waists and inseams.  With the Matrix function, when a new style comes in, the create function allows you to easily create all combinations of these standard sets.  When the store wants to update these items, the Matrix function displays all the related items in a grid or spreadsheet format.  A wide variety of fields, including price, cost, minimum and maximum quantities and more can easily be updated for all related items.  This same grid format is used to easily create purchase orders. The Matrix function is included at no cost in all InfoTouch Apparel™, InfoTouch Shoe™ and expanded clothing and accessory platforms.

Time and attendance records of all employees and gross wage calculations are at the center of the Employee Module. All employees can clock in/clock out through any register in the system while managers can monitor and adjust these ‘punches’ accordingly.
