RATEX Business Solutions Adds MITS Report to its Retail Management System

RATEX Business Solutions, Inc . (RBS), an independent provider of comprehensive inventory management and point of sale business solutions to university bookstores has announced the addition of MITS reporting technology to its retail management system (VisualRATEX). VisualRATEX is an end to end solution that handles all major aspects of retail bookstore operations including product ordering, product sales, general ledger, and accounts receivable.

As part of its initiative to provide superior business consulting, software, hardware, training, and support across all aspects of collegiate retailers' information systems, RBS is offering MITS Report as an additional technology to meet their customers' reporting needs. Through MITS Report , RBS clients have additional tools necessary to access the data in their VisualRATEX system and report on that data quickly and easily.

With the VisualRATEX system running on IBM UniVerse , RBS had been relying on the use of basic reporting facilities to complete query statements. Jere Warner, CEO of RBS explains, "We wanted to provide our clients with a more powerful, state of the art, way to generate ad hoc reports. In cooperation with MITS , we were able to integrate a successful method of utilizing the data contained in our system. MITS Report makes it possible to create a variety of customized reports where users, on the fly, can manipulate the format of the report while maintaining the data integrity".

MITS President Fred Owen adds "We are very pleased to be associated with RBS and welcome them as a MITS partner. Their desire to extend the value of their software offering with the addition of MITS Report fits perfectly with the design of the product and our vision for its use."
