Herno rolls out Cegid Retail Y2 software

Italian fashion retailer Herno has equipped five of its flagship stores with cloud-based technology from Cegid as it eyes expansion across Europe, Japan and the US.

It says it has gone down this route because of the ease of adding new stores and guaranteed compliance with payment and accounting regulations in different countries. This makes adherence to local tax calculations and reporting much easier, with systems automatically configured to the regional languages and different currencies where the brand operates.

"Being able to work with a technology partner that is truly capable of understanding the complexities and needs of an international brand like ours represents enormous added value," says Claudio Marenzi, President at Herno.

The Cegid Retail Y2 software has so far been deployed in Herno’s flagship stores in London, Paris, New York and two in Italy. The second phase of the project plans to add 20 more boutiques in Japan.
