Wilkinson purchased the complete Merchandise Lifecycle Management suite, and plans to triple imports and customer choice. The system will provide the retailer with a supplier management capability, ensuring quality, compliance and delivery requirements are monitored using a single source of data.

Phil Barnes, commercial planning manager of Wilkinson, said: TradeStone was the only company that offered a full suite that brought together PLM for Retail, Global Sourcing, Global Order Management, Quality Management and Supplier Management, to enable us to give our customers a wider selection of products at the great value they have to come to expect.

Sue Welch, CEO of TradeStone Software, said: We are impressed with Wilkinson’s drive to capitalize on current market conditions and reinvent themselves as a retail leader that uses technology as a strategy to support innovation and growth. They are expecting radical results and that is what we will deliver.
