Quality Auto Sound Converts Smoothly to GERS Sequel System.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 17, 1998--Things went smoothly when Colorado-based Quality Auto Sound went live recently on the GERS Sequel System. The retailer purchased the GERS Standard Big Ticket application for sales, inventory and accounting to automate its operations.

The modules Quality Auto Sound will be using in each of its stores are Point-of-Sale, Bar Code inventory, e-mail, and the inventory tracking system. In the future they plan to utilize the credit card authorization feature.

Quality Auto Sound thoroughly tested all processes prior to conversion to work through any potential issues, which allowed the GERS conversion team to concentrate on implementing optional functionality during conversion.

"We're really pleased with the system so far," said Quality Auto Sound president Hugh Whiteman. "The system has so much to offer us and we plan on using its applications to the fullest. I'm excited about the possibilities." Quality Auto Sound switched to the GERS system after using the Real World POS and the DacEasy for accounting.

Quality Auto Sound, a nine-store and one warehouse retailer located in Denver, sells mobile electronics and cellular phones.

"I know Quality Auto Sound looked at a lot of our competitors and in part chose GERS because we are a growing and thriving company," said GERS vice president Dennis Conforto. "We welcome them and I'm confident we can live up to their expectations while providing them with the same high level of customer service they are so known for."

The GERS Sequel System is a comprehensive management tool that allows retailers the ability to oversee all aspects of retail operation including accounting, inventory, sales, warehousing and merchandising, with the flexibility to shape the system to their individual needs. Built within an Oracle relational database platform to facilitate optimal growth, the Sequel System also features clear menus with friendly pop-up windows to guide users through each procedure to save time and increase employee productivity.

GERS Retail Systems provides fully integrated, Open Systems computer solutions software, hardware, and comprehensive training for department stores, specialty, home furnishings retailers, and consumer electronics/wireless retail operations.
