DataWorks’ NeXT® Inventory Software Installed at Award-Winning Ameristar Casinos
"On the cutting edge of retail," Ameristar Casinos upgraded to DataWorks' NeXT Inventory software at all of their six United States locations.
Bonita Springs, FL, August 13, 2010 --(PR.com)-- DataWorks, Inc., developer of NeXT® inventory control software, is proud to announce the recent implementation of DataWorks’ NeXT software to all six of the famed Ameristar Casinos located in the United States.
Ameristar Casinos is a leading gaming and entertainment company with corporate headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada, and additional properties located in cities nationwide. Long-time users of DataWorks original ARMS system, Ameristar felt “a need to be on the cutting edge of retail,” according to Daiva Kasemekas, Business Systems Manager for Ameristar. This imperative, along with the need for increased reporting and inventory tracking, were among the main reasons for the inventory software upgrade to NeXT. The software allows for ease of information input with elaborate tracking and reporting functions.
"The reporting has brought us to a new business level," said Kasemekas. "We are able to outline our needs, control our inventory, and make better buying decisions based on the information easily provided us through the software.”
DataWorks installed the enterprise edition of Scaled Sardine [v6] with dual interfaces across the Ameristar network to preexisting InfoGenesis and Micros POS systems. Also activated were multiple access groups and levels of user rights for complete system control across all levels of the supply chain. Legacy data was converted out of Ameristar’s existing ARMS inventory software system. DataWorks engineers re-mapped merchandise categories, and then did an incremental data update just prior to the software ‘Go Live.’
“We began the upgrade process with Ameristar by conducting demos, providing quotes and answering RFIs in late 2008,” recounts Chuck Ginsberg, Chief Operating Officer for DataWorks. “Almost a year later, after investigating other systems, the Ameristar team chose to retain DataWorks and upgrade to NeXT. They also added their newest property, East Chicago, to the enterprise system, bringing their total sites implementing NeXT to six.” Ginsberg continued, “We couldn’t be happier to continue our partnership and provide our expertise to further enhance their retail operations.”
“Everyone at DataWorks has done an outstanding job helping resolve any issues and leading us to results in a timely manner,” adds Kasemekas. “DataWorks has a great team of individuals that led our company completely through the entire process of new software every step of the way.”
