EZklick helps small retailers
capture market share and cut costs.

 

CRISP systems in participating merchants’ stores track inventory, reorder products, and encourage shopper loyalty and repeat business. The potential improvement available to small grocers, based solely on the benefits of in-store automation, is substantial.

But EZklick does more for small merchants. Its Independent Wholesale Distribution Centers solve a major difficulty for small grocers and C-stores. Large distributors are reluctant to sell to stores that purchase less than $10,000 per week. Small operators are left with unattractive choices. Club Stores such as Sam’s Club are an option — but, prices are high for wholesale and selection varies and may not match small operators’ clientele. Food Service firms such as Kraft are an option — but prices are often higher than retail.

EZklick brings efficiency and order. Buying from an Independent Wholesale Distribution Center is easy. Point-of-sale, realtime perpetual inventory, reordering, receiving, general ledger, customer records, and management reporting are integrated. By streamlining operations, EZklick helps small merchants improve their financial results and lifestyle. (See Nikki’s Story).

EZklick’s relationships with manufacturers wishing to reach fast growing independent and ethnic markets makes products available to small merchants at supermarket cost-of-goods levels.

Independents can also raise overall margins by carrying digitally deliverable products with 70-80% gross margins.

EZklick’s collaboration with The IMA Group brings access to approximately 8 million users of the alternative health care services of IMA Group members. The collaboration brings nationwide medical coverage at attractive rates, Xtra Card administration, and other benefits to participating merchants. It also makes the Group’s nutritional information and expertise available to shoppers who patronize merchants that purchase from EZklick Distribution Centers.

EZklick management and associates are a valuable brain trust that participating merchants draw upon to improve performance, gain access to capital for expansion, and increase the valuation of their businesses — which helps merchants increase credit lines, acquire additional stores, and bring family members into the business.

EZklick reports and publications help small merchants fine-tune daily operations and prepare for the future. Practical business tools such as Gap Management and VIP techniques are used to dramatically speed-up value building.
