Futura is a complete Retail Management System for established and growing retailers, connecting EPOS, stock control, buying and merchandising, order management, reporting and customer management across stores and ecommerce channels. For retailers with more advanced warehouse and fulfilment requirements, Futura works seamlessly with StockHub WMS, providing a connected solution from point of sale through to warehouse, picking, packing and dispatch. Backed by more than 30 years of retail expertise and highly personalised UK support, Futura gives retailers the visibility and control they need to manage increasingly complex operations and support future growth.
Futura brings retail operations together around a single source of data, giving teams clear visibility of stock, sales, customers, products and orders across the business. Retailers can maintain accurate stock levels, understand performance across locations and channels, and make better-informed decisions about buying, allocation, replenishment and fulfilment.
Built for multi-store and omnichannel retail
Futura helps retailers manage the day-to-day complexity of selling across physical stores and online channels. Products, inventory and customer information can be managed centrally, while stock and sales visibility across the business helps retailers understand where inventory is held, where it is selling and where it is needed.
Ecommerce platforms such as Shopify can connect with the wider retail operation, allowing online orders to flow into Futura for processing and fulfilment. Retailers can also support Click & Collect, customer orders and fulfilment from store stock, helping them make better use of inventory across their business.
Futura EPOS is designed specifically for retail environments, giving store teams access to the stock, customer and order information they need while supporting promotions, returns, loyalty and other essential store processes.
Stock, buying and merchandise management
Futura provides the tools to manage stock throughout its lifecycle, from purchasing and goods receiving through allocation, transfers, replenishment and sale.
Buying and merchandise planning functionality helps retailers use sales, stock and performance information to make informed decisions about what to buy, how much stock to hold and where inventory is needed. For fashion, footwear and other size- and colour-led retailers, matrix functionality provides clear visibility across product variants.
Centralised reporting gives management teams visibility across stores and channels, helping them monitor performance, identify trends and make decisions using consistent retail data.
Order management, warehouse and fulfilment
Futura connects store and ecommerce operations so retailers can manage orders and make better use of inventory across the business. Online and customer orders can be brought into the wider retail operation for fulfilment, with stock visibility helping teams determine where inventory is available and where orders can be fulfilled.
For retailers with more advanced warehouse requirements, StockHub WMS by Futura Retail Solutions provides dedicated warehouse management functionality including goods receiving, put-away, multi-bin stock management, replenishment, picking, packing and dispatch.
Futura and StockHub WMS work together to provide a connected retail and warehouse solution, giving growing retailers a clear route from multi-store retail management through to more structured warehouse and fulfilment operations as their requirements develop.
StockHub WMS can also be deployed as a standalone warehouse management system for retailers that need dedicated WMS functionality alongside their existing retail technology.
Customer management and loyalty
Futura provides a central view of customer information and purchase history, helping store teams recognise customers, understand previous purchases and provide a more personalised service.
Loyalty, gift cards and digital engagement options can further support customer retention and repeat business across stores and online channels.
Designed to support growing retail operations
Futura is particularly suited to established and growing retailers that have moved beyond the capabilities of basic POS and inventory systems but do not want the cost, rigidity or complexity often associated with enterprise retail software.
The system supports retailers across fashion, footwear, lifestyle, gifts, homewares, department stores and other specialist retail sectors, with functionality and integrations configured around the requirements of each business.
Retail software backed by long-term expertise
Technology is only part of the Futura proposition. Futura Retail Solutions has been working with retailers for more than 30 years, combining advanced retail software with highly personalised support and long-term partnership.
More than 90% of Futura customers have been with the company for over ten years, with many relationships extending beyond two decades. Futura's experienced and stable team provides customers with continuity and people who develop a genuine understanding of their business over time.
Rather than simply supplying software, Futura works closely with retailers as their operations develop, helping them improve stock visibility, increase operational efficiency, connect retail channels and support future growth.
