  Phyllis Heppenstall and daughter Kris founded Peekay, Inc. in 1980 as a direct-marketing company. They saw a market for adult products tastefully presented and sold. In six months, revenues had reached U.S.$500,000. Fiscal year 2007 ended with 31 stores and 20,000 daily transactions. As new marketing channels developed, a legacy Apropos point-of-sale and inventory management system proved difficult to modify. When Peekay's initial three-store network of Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System, installed by New West Technologies, demonstrated its worth in speed, ease, and flexibility, the comprehensive retail application was expanded chain-wide.

Tri-City Retail Systems' experience installing and integrating this Microsoft solution into chain stores helped ensure fast, systematic rollout.

whitepaper Specialty Jewelry Chain Boosts Profits by Linking POS, Stock, Purchasing, Accounting2008-01-01 Microsoft
  Managing the details and intricacies of a multistate jewelry chain with Web sales had outpaced Christian Bernard Jewelers' aging and disjointed IT system. Executives couldn't rely on its sales numbers, stock levels, profit margins, or sales commissions before double-checking data. Support, once costly, was unavailable. After many evaluations, management chose Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS) and Microsoft Dynamics GP. MPI-Jeweler added niche-specific functionality. Today, the CEO has reliable information at near-realtime speeds. The CFO closes books in days, not weeks, and no longer works late doing verification. Sales staff don't call weekly to query paychecks. Perhaps, most important, purchasing is now based on exact knowledge of which products sell best at each store, so display cases are appropriately stocked and "Negative inventory" cannot occur.
