DataWorks, Inc., developers of NeXT® inventory control software, is pleased to announce that Pebble Beach Resorts recently upgraded their retail operations to include DataWorks’ NeXT. Pebble Beach Resorts has been utilizing DataWorks’ software to manage their purchasing, warehousing and inventory control operations since 1997.

Pebble Beach Resorts, located in Pebble Beach, California, is the premier luxury golf resort in the United States. As their retail operations have grown since their hosting of the U.S. Open in 2000, so have their technology needs, which prompted the upgrade to NeXT.

“We have over 20 retail outlets, all being supplied from a central receiving warehouse,” said Dominic Van Nes, Vice President of Information Services with Pebble Beach Resorts. “Transferring inventory correctly between the different locations and the warehouse, and keeping track of all the movement, is a primary focus.”

With DataWorks’ NeXT Inventory Software, Pebble Beach Resorts has found it easier to effectively manage inventory and purchasing by using NeXT tools such as Inventory Stock-Ledger reports, Open-to- Buy, and Suggested Re-Order applications. By integrating with the PAR Springer-Miller POS system, DataWorks has streamlined accounting and allowed for real-time store operations.

“DataWorks is known world-wide as the ‘Best-of-Breed’ retail inventory control system for resorts. We got here by working with ‘Best-of-Breed’ resorts. Pebble Beach is an unparalleled property with a world-class staff — an IT department of elite professionals and a retail team that ranks in the top 1% of all retailers for analysis and sophistication. The Pebble Beach team has made our 12-year relationship very special. Pebble Beach has pushed our design envelope to encompass better forecasting and replenishment methodologies. The entire DataWorks community has benefited from this very unique partnership,” says Mark Cecil, CEO of DataWorks.

Van Nes added, “DataWorks has been in the retail inventory software business for a long time, and they have figured out what a retail operation needs from their system. They are also quick to respond to changing market strategies, and enhancing their software to take advantage of those new strategies. You can’t ask for more in a software vendor.”
