Leveraging the technology from its enterprise level system, CDS now meets the specific needs of the small and mid-market retailer—a market segment previously neglected by the software industry. Now, with this new edition, small and mid-sized retailers can experience the innovative technology that only large retailers were able to enjoy.

It has always been part of CDS' growth plan to tailor its Retail 6 offering and enter the small and mid-market segment when the timing was right. Well, economies of scale make that time right now! By partnering with companies like Dell, Cisco, HP, and Symbol, CDS is able to synchronize its software offering with the most affordable hardware systems available. The timing for this edition is ideal because the supporting technologies, like Microsoft Windows Server® and wireless networks, desktops and laptops, have come down so far in price that they're now accessible to even the smallest businesses.

Technology research indicates that a significant percentage of small and medium sized businesses will be buying a new computer system this year. What's the best thing you can do for your business? Get a complete system that will grow with your company. With Retail 6 being a true 100% Windows® based application, the small and mid-size edition can run successfully with minimum hardware requirements and investment. You get innovative, enterprise-level technology in a package that works within your budget. Best of all - The Retail 6 system will grow with you and eliminate the costly pains of changing systems as each growth phase occurs.

Customers who purchase this new edition are delighted in the fact that they can install the software and easily learn how to use it in the comfort and convenience of their own store via self-directed training videos and support materials. The system uses everyday language and you're quickly prompted from screen to screen. In no time at all, you and your team are trained and ready to go.

Technical support, coaching, mentoring, and consulting are also available and can be pre-purchased. Once you are using the system, you'll be pleased to learn there are no hidden costs or other fees to surprise you.

We recognize that it's challenging for small and mid-level retailers to upgrade to a new system even when it's clear that it will benefit operations in the long run. And, we realize that even the smallest businesses have a broad spectrum of needs for technology services. With this new edition of Retail 6, CDS is able to address those needs, allowing the small and mid-size business to have a cost effective and scalable solution for their organization. It's a win-win situation!
