September 23, 2011 – Makati City, Philippines – Established in 2004, Motoworld Philippines has established itself as the premier distributor and retailer of imported motorcycle accessories in the country. The company carries several well-known and international brands such as AGV, Nolan, K & N and Dainese, serving the mid- to high-end market of motorcycle enthusiasts and adventure riders.

To foster its growth and expansion plans, Motoworld Philippines has recently partnered with Genie Technologies, Inc. (Genietech) for the Retail Pro and Microsoft Dynamics NAV project implementation.

“Initially, we were considering a more basic solution to improve our current processes. But later on, I realized of course we want the company to grow and the business will get more complicated in the future. So I said let’s invest on a more powerful system,” shared Mr. Ryan Chao, President of Motoworld Philippines during the project kick-off held at the Genietech headquarters in Makati City. The project is in line with the company’s objective of having a more seamless organization – replacing their off-the-shelf solution with Retail Pro, a comprehensive retail management solution, for their front-end operations which will be integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, an adaptable business management solution designed for small to midsized companies, to streamline their back-office operations.

Improving customer service and being more efficient are the main benefits that Motoworld is looking forward to once the project has been implemented. “This project is for the improvement of our service to our customers because that is one of our weaknesses right now – we spend a lot of time on the phone while in the office we spend the whole day encoding. So we want more time to analyze information and actually manage the business,” Mr. Chao added.

The Retail Pro retail management software solution has integrated point-of-sale (POS) software with store operation and back-office functions, supporting the entire retail lifecycle in the store through item creation, purchasing, receiving, sales, inventory management, and replenishment. And with Microsoft Dynamics NAV at the back-end, users have access to accurate information in real-time empowering them to be more productive through the Role-Tailored user experience.

With stable and reliable systems in place, the company will be able to focus more on growing the business. Motoworld has 8 branches and is planning to open 2 more within the year. They are also planning to diversify their product line by adding motorcycles and offer servicing.

“One of the main reasons why we committed with Genietech is we saw that they have a long history with the retail industry and for our business, though we have both distribution and retail, we want to improve the retail side of it especially in this kind of business line where there are only a few players and we have a different market,” shared Mr. Chao.
