Accelerating Ace Hardware Retailer Success

The ACENET Retail Analytics Dashboard provides great insights for Optimal Shelf Quantities and now Propello can take advantage of enhanced workflows for Minimum Order Points, In-stock Items, and Economic Order Quantities. Changes posted on ACENET will post to Propello in near real-time.

Propello will now process changes made on the Mango Closeout section from the Retail Analytics Dashboard. The overall workflow will include updates to a new Mango Closeout (COM) field in the Product Overview screen and the download of Closeout Management Promos. The performance of these promotions can then be evaluated for additional markdowns until the slow-moving stock is closed out.

Targeted lists are an ideal way to focus employees on only the items that need attention. The new Mobile+ enhancements include Initial Count Dropdown in User Settings, new fields in Item Detail, Skip Button to skip counting on current item, and much more.

Hero Substitution and Replaced Item columns have been added in the Purchase Order Receiving grid so you can easily see if one item has been substituted for another by Ace for a customer order.

SRBO enables you to select products that are currently not in stock in the RSC and reserve for a later delivery. Using the enhanced reverse purchase orders, you can also add and delete line items in the SRBO.

Tailor your promotions with new download defaults in the Ace promotion setup. The new “Discountable by Other Rules” defaults for Price Book rules that include Promotion Price List, BOGO, and Limited Quantity Discount add granularity to how you want to double-discount, or not.

Progressive promotions like “Spend $100 and Save $10 but Spend $150 and save $25” encourage your customers to spend more, adding to top line sales. Ace’s Buy More And Save program will launch later in 2024 and Propello is ready to go!

The new VOM feature enables you to choose between the lowest cost option to improve margins or the lowest multiple that best meets your shelf capacity when setting your default VOM and gives you the ability to override at the item level.
