Futura Australia recently assisted their customer Lovisa, a fashion jewellery and hair accessories retailer with over 180 stores across Australasia,  http://www.lovisa.com.au,  in upgrading to the latest version of Futuras Retail management software.  Version 3.26 is now available for general release and is already being used by hundreds of Futura users.

Lovisa IT Manager, Ching Fu, worked to an extremely tight schedule and successfully upgraded 170+ Australian and New Zealand branches over 2 nights.

The remaining branches in Singapore, Malaysia and South Africa were upgraded before the end of the week so the complete international upgrade of all Country Head Offices and Branches was completed within 5 days with minimal downtime for the head office users and no downtime for the branches.

I’m extremely happy with the progress that we have made and really appreciate the support from the team at Futura. We are now looking forward to using the new features in the new version.  Said Ching Fu, IT Manager, Lovisa.

Enhancements available in this latest release of Futura include:

• A Web Services interface to allows real time interaction between Futura and other products.
• New end of day “Push Polling” that automatically sends data back to head office as soon cashing up has been completed in each branch, thereby minimising even further polling failure rates.
