TQH Three Q Fpo

Island Pacific Systems, Inc. (Island Pacific), a 100% owned subsidiary of 3Q Holdings Limited (ASX: TQH), announced today that it has signed an agreement for Island Pacific Mobile with The Dune Group, a major UK fashion footwear retailer with over 200 stores and concessions in prime locations across the UK and Europe. The Dune Group currently uses the Island Pacific solutions across its Retail, Web, Mail order, International and Wholesale channels for the management of stock. Recently they made the decision to invest in the Island Pacific Mobile solution for use within their retail stores. The Island Pacific Mobile application will be used on the iPod Touch and will allow Dune store employees to better share product information and availability with the customers from the website and/or another store.

James Cox, COO at The Dune Group, explains, “We have a customer base which is extremely loyal to the Dune Brand and we want to ensure we give them the highest level of customer service possible. We aim to continually improve the in-store experience, enabling a tighter integration between all channels and to ensure that the customer leaves the store knowing they have experienced the best customer service possible. Introducing Island Pacific Mobile into our retail stores means that the sales assistant has invaluable information at their finger tips. Initially we will be providing a real time stock inquiry and the ability to purchase stock directly from alternative Dune stores or the Dune website. Long-term we have some very exciting initiatives planned for the Island Pacific Mobile application.”

Mike Dotson, MD of Island Pacific Europe, comments, “Island Pacific Mobile is the latest in our new and exciting applications available to our existing and new customers. The solution has been developed as a direct reaction to the marketplace. The beauty of the product is we provide a standard solution which is continually evolving to meet the ever increasing demands of the retailers’ needs and the customers they serve whether that be customer data capture, stock availability and ordering, price information or real time view of sales across the business.”
