What exactly is Supergem?

Supergem is the incredibly powerful computer software tool supporting ARMS unique business management philosophy.

How it is helping retailers become more successful

A retailers major investment is stock, which, when managed using Supergem produces substantially increased profits from a much reduced investment.  Supergem divides stock into departments then provides important indicators  to show the profitability of each department.  By applying  ARMS philosophies to each of four key indicators each department is tuned to become a dynamic, highly effective profit contributor supporting a better income for the store owner.  ( Quantity sold x average sale = sales then markup % to achieve gross profit and stockturn which provides ARMS unique "Profit Index")

Supergem identifies your top sellers in each department prompting you to replace these important profit earners as soon as you have sold them.  It shows those items that do not need to be discounted to sell, those which will stand higher markup and those which will have to be discounted to clear.  Supergem highlights instant sales trends and provides monthly figures used for tightly controlling buying via an "open to buy fund".

Sales people can make or break a business.  They are also typically the most under utilized resource of the company.  Supergem provides simple reports showing the strengths and weaknesses of each sales person which allows you to train and motivate your team to outstanding results.  You can identify top performers who often go unnoticed, the salespeople who are excessively discounting, losing sales, or have a low average sale.

Supergem treats the stock from each supplier as a separate investment.  Based on dollars of profit generated and stock turn achieved you can see quickly the suppliers who are contributing to your profits and those you are carrying.  By using Supergem you can negotiate Win/Win supplier arrangements.  Never has the 80/20 rule been more evident, with more than 80% of the total profit coming from less than 20% of your suppliers.

Supergem reports along with ARMS coaching allows you to take absolute control of your stock, staff and supplier performance to help increase your personal wealth.

By using Supergem you can quickly turn your retail operation into a "cash cow" providing you with increased income that will afford you and your family a better standard of living plus provide surplus income available for investment in your families future.
