Retail Software: Announcing New Release Of Junction Solutions For Retail Version 4.2

Junction Solutions, leading provider of business software solutions for mid-market retail and consumer goods industries on the Microsoft platform, recently announced the release of Version 4.2 of its newly branded “Junction Solutions for Retail” packaged software suite. This release, containing over 70 new features, extends Junction Solutions’ cross-channel retail enterprise functionality to encompass e-Commerce and in-store POS systems within a single corporate data source built upon Microsoft Dynamics AX.

Junction Solutions’ announced earlier this year the acquisitions of both ThePage.com and ISS Retail which expanded its capabilities to run e-Commerce and in-store/POS operations. The former catalog and direct marketing JunctionMCR product, built on Microsoft Dynamics AX, has been expanded to become a hub for cross-channel retailing , so the product has been renamed to JunctionRES – Retail Enterprise Solution. All together, the Junction Solutions for Retail solution provides cross-channel retailers and vertically oriented retailers/manufacturers the most comprehensive retail enterprise solution (or “Retail ERP”) in the marketplace.

The focus of Junction Solutions’ 4.2 software development team was integration of the data and store, e-Commerce, and direct marketing business processes, enabling merchants to operate and provide a seamless, cross-channel shopping experience out of the box. Integrated systems of this type are typically very expensive and custom built with limited but duplicate and overlapping functionality.

Together, Microsoft Dynamics AX, Microsoft .NET, and the Microsoft Server platform provide the foundation for Junction Solutions for Retail Version 4.2, giving it a combination of unique flexibility, advanced technology, low cost of ownership and global capabilities.

“Cross-channel integration was the key theme for Version 4.2 of our Junction Solutions for Retail solution,” said Brian Carpizo, CEO at Junction Solutions. “Our challenge was to create from the ground up an enterprise retail solution that is integrated with the functionality found in best-of-breed point solutions. With 4.2, we accomplished that goal and look forward to extending our lead in the marketplace.”
