The perfect fit

Industry. Retail
Key. Turn over inventory to keep customers coming back.

Don and Mary Bauer may own and operate a small chain of swimsuit shops, but they're running the stores with the sophistication of much larger retailers.

The Bauers run the 13 Aqua Beachwear shops with software that lets them carefully manage about 100,000 top-quality swimsuits. For example, their “just in time” system knows exactly how many swimsuits sold each day so employees can restock them the following day from their Fort Myers warehouse.
