LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Smart & Final said it will deploy financials and procurement software to help enhance financial visibility into its operations and support cost control processes.
The retailer, a regional non-membership warehouse store chain with 235 locations along the West Coast and northwestern Mexico, plans to install the financials and procurement modules from Lawson Software, St. Paul, Minn., which were developed to provide an enhanced financial systems platform to support ongoing store growth, according to Lawson.
"We've selected Lawson applications as an integral part of our strategic information systems upgrade program," said Richard Phegley, Smart & Final's s.v.p. and c.f.o. "The software has the ability to integrate with other best-in-class systems, and it has competitive total ownership cost and flexible reporting capabilities.
