Chosen to Implement Complete Software Solution for the U.S. Naval
Fleet
Staten
Island, NY (July 29, 2009) – Celerant Technology, a leader
in the retail software industry, was recently selected by the
Department of the U.S. Navy as the new software provider for their
Ships Store Program. After extensive research and an elaborate
review process, the US Navy has chosen Celerant to provide an
“end to end” enterprise software solution that could
be used on over 150 naval ships.
“We
are pleased to have been chosen by the US Navy and look forward
to developing this partnership and providing the Navy with our
advanced retail software,” stated Ian Goldman, Celerant
President and CEO. “Our team of experienced software developers,
implementation specialists, and support technicians are well equipped
and prepared to make the transition of each ship store as smooth
as possible, regardless of a ship’s location. With our software,
Command Retail, the naval stores will gain similar efficiencies
of operation of workload reduction, corporate oversight and reduced
training costs, equivalent to stores existing in traditional brick
and mortar locations.”
Command Retail manages all areas of a retail business, from the
point of sale on the front end, to inventory management, warehouse,
distribution, allocation, advanced reporting on the back end,
and integrated e-commerce. The Celerant system is written in Java
and performs in real time, connecting all retail channels seamlessly
with a centralized database. If by chance internet connectivity
is lost, such as when a navy ship is at sea, transactions at the
store are not interrupted and the Celerant system allows all data
to be imported as soon as the connection is restored.
“With
the selection of this new retail software provider for the U.S.
Navy’s ships stores, the Navy will have taken a step in
moving from a legacy environment to a more efficient corporate
enterprise / distance support process. We expect significant efficiencies
such as the reduction of training costs and inventory carrying
costs.” stated Charles Vaughan, Vice President, Navy Exchange
Service Command Afloat Operations / Ships Store Program. “Implementing
Command Retail will provide our fleet with a higher level of efficiency
and the capability to make cost-effective operational decisions
that weren’t as possible before.”
The
Department of the Navy has approximately 155 Ship Stores on commissioned
ships, carrying basic necessities, as well as a limited selection
of semi-luxury items such as electronics and watches. For more
