RMS Migration to Retail Management Hero
If you are still using Microsoft Retail Management System (RMS), now is the time to consider your next step. RMS Migration to Retail Management Hero (RMH) gives retailers a familiar path forward while introducing modern features and improvements designed for today’s retail environment.
RMH is based on the highly successful RMS platform, so many of the functions, workflows and features you already know can be carried across to your new system. This can make the migration process much easier for your team and reduce the disruption associated with moving to a completely different POS system.
At Positive Retail, we understand that every retailer’s setup is different. Before your RMS Migration, our team can walk you through the key differences between RMS and RMH, discuss your current setup and help identify the best approach for your business.
Why Migrate from Microsoft RMS?
Microsoft RMS has been discontinued, leaving retailers with the challenge of finding a reliable long-term solution. Continuing to rely on an outdated system can make it increasingly difficult to access modern retail technology, integrations and ongoing support.
RMH provides a familiar alternative because it was developed from the RMS platform. Many of the features retailers have relied on for years remain available, while RMH introduces additional functionality to help businesses manage their operations more effectively.
For your staff, this familiarity can also make the transition easier. Many common workflows and hotkeys work in a similar way to RMS, helping your team get comfortable with the new system more quickly.
Improved Inventory and Purchasing
RMH introduces improvements across the back office, particularly in areas such as inventory control and purchase order processing.
Better inventory management can give retailers greater visibility over their stock, while improved purchase order functionality can help streamline purchasing processes.
RMH also offers advanced Accounts Receivable functionality, allowing retailers to manage individual and grouped customer accounts, including families and organisations.
These features give retailers more tools to manage the day-to-day running of their business while maintaining the familiar foundations of RMS.
RMS Migration: What Can You Expect?
Every RMS Migration is different, but the process typically begins with understanding your current setup and requirements.
Your Positive Retail consultant can help you:
- Review your existing RMS system and hardware
- Identify the features and workflows your business relies on
- Explain the differences between RMS and RMH
- Determine what existing hardware and data can be retained
- Identify any additional functionality your business may need
- Plan the migration to minimise disruption
- Provide guidance and support throughout the transition
The goal is to make your move to RMH as straightforward as possible while ensuring the new system meets your business requirements.
A Familiar Retail Management System
Changing your retail management system can feel like a major undertaking, particularly when your team has been using RMS for many years. One of the advantages of RMH is that it provides a familiar environment rather than requiring your staff to learn an entirely different system.
The familiar interface and workflows can make the transition easier, while RMH also provides improvements designed to support modern retail businesses.
For retailers, this means an RMS Migration can be an opportunity to modernise your technology without completely changing the way your team works.
