I believe that Zara should considering in upgrading its current POS to Intuit-HP Retail
solution for department stores. Along with the software, the hardware can be purchased in
bundles of equipment that will make every retail location complete. This software makes it
convenient for the client and for the store manager in the sense that is flexible, reliable, adaptive
and efficient. Zara can choose the system that is right for their business; the HP POS systems are
simple to set up and little maintenance is required; is adaptive and evolves to the ever changing
market; and more importantly; it can manage everything, from inventory to back office
operations. Also the great advantage of this new software is the “QuickBooks Hardware Rapid
Replacement Program” which ensures minimal Workstation downtimes by quickly and
conveniently replacing failed hardware peripherals; with the help of this program Zara can keep
their IT workforce in the small numbers. All these transitions into the new software should be
done smoothly and by regions at a time, provide training to employees and let the employees get
familiar with it. Upon the completion of the integration, Zara will alleviate dependence on
Sanchez and run with the misfortune to rely upon him or on his knowledge.
