Osprey London invests in systems for store growth

Luxury leather goods brand Osprey London has invested in retail systems from Cegid/VCSTimeless to support its store and outlet opening programme that is planned for the next five years.

This autumn Osprey London will open its first outlet store at York Designer Outlet. The company’s developing online business Ospreylondon.com will also be further lifted later this autumn by a move into mail order.

The company wanted a replenishment and EPoS system that would allow it to service each of these channels efficiently, and with total visibility of its stock situation. To assist with this, the brand has introduced the Colombus Enterprise Suite, a multichannel retail management system. It is allowing the Osprey team to work with its diverse international suppliers to ensure greater cost-effectiveness within the re-ordering process and to future-proof the business in the long term.

Osprey London managing director Graeme Ellisdon said: “The visibility the system offers is already providing benefits to the way we manage the lifecycle of each individual product.

“We’re determined to play a bigger commercial game and Colombus will help us achieve our goals.”
