DataWorks’ NeXT® Inventory Management Software Installed in Third Quarter ’09 at Kapalua Resort in Maui

Bonita Springs, FL, November 10, 2009 --(PR.com)-- DataWorks’ NeXT made its debut at several prestigious properties in the third quarter of 2009. From implementing retail inventory management systems at several resorts to supplying food and beverage ordering software to Kapalua Resort in Maui, DataWorks offers feature-rich inventory solutions to all types of properties and establishments nationwide.

Kapalua Resort in Maui installed DataWorks’ complete NeXT software solution which includes:
· Retail Inventory Management
· Grocery Store Inventory Management
· Open-to-Buy
· Interfaces to Accounts Payable and General Ledger systems
· Interface to MICROS® 9700

DataWorks’ NeXT inventory management software interfaces to the MICROS™ 9700 POS which had already been installed at the resort. The DataWorks interface allows for seamless communication between back-of-house operations and frontline guest services. Menu items can be ordered and tracked with one touch of a button ensuring gifts and sundries are kept in stock and ready for sale.

"We are thrilled that Kapalua Resort selected NeXT to manage their inventories. Centralizing their inventories using our NeXT inventory control software allows for one-time data entry. At that point, NeXT does all the work updating the point-of-sale and the accounts payable system. This reduces data entry errors and man hours, ultimately increasing profits and providing accurate information,” said Mark Cecil, DataWorks President and CEO.

Kapalua Resort is able to utilize NeXT as a central point of inventory management where multiple departments can control inventory for their specific group while the finance department can obtain a global picture of the company’s inventory, sales and purchases.
