Revolution rolls out IBS StockLink software to enhance business control

Award-winning Revolution bars, named the Publican's Retail Concept of the Year, has installed IBS's POS and central management software, StockLink, at its 55 UK outlets for stock checking, general sales reporting and production of daily business reports.

Marc Dawson, IT manager at Inventive Leisure, owners of the Revolution brand, said: "Our end goal is to be able to deliver data to head office in a timely fashion and StockLink is integral to that achievement."

"Although our bars operate different closing times depending upon location and the time of the year, our tills are polled throughout the night so at 6am our systems at head office produce management reports. These are automatically sent out via email and PDA to our site managers and head office teams so they get the information they need to be able to drive the business forward," said Marc.

"With Revolution planning to host over 100,000 parties at its outlets this year, StockLink will become an essential business tool for controlling and distributing business information. The beauty of StockLink is its total flexibility so it can configured to suit the unique demands of each user," said Gareth Powell, managing director of IBS.

The launch included training road-shows in Manchester, Bath, London and Derby to introduce managers to StockLink.

IBS's flexible, easy-to-use systems combine software (with the option of using either the on-line or off-line StockLink modular suites), the latest independently road-tested hardware and consultancy expertise developed through working in partnership with numerous blue chip, SME and independent operators.
