Software as a Service (SaaS) made its appearance in early 2000 and has since
proven itself in all areas of retail distribution, and in all types of organisations
(from retailers with one or two points-of-sale to retailers with hundreds of stores
worldwide).
So what are the reasons for its success? IT costs are calculated according to actual
use and the reliability and solid security of the software and networks enables
retailers to adapt to regular changes in activity (additional points-of-sale, new store
openings, new distribution networks or international expansion). These scenarios
make SaaS a strategic tool for today’s retailer.
