About Morris & Sons
Morris & Sons is a leading Australian retailer and wholesaler specializing in yarns, fabrics, and needlecraft supplies. With multiple retail outlets across Australia and a growing eCommerce presence, the company serves hobbyists, designers, and textile enthusiasts. As a multi-channel retailer, Morris & Sons required a modern ERP system to unify POS, warehouse, inventory, and online operations.
Challenges
- Disconnected Systems Between POS, Inventory & eCommerce
- Lack of a unified ERP created inefficiencies across sales, stock, and online orders.
- Data silos caused delays in reporting and operational decision-making.
- Legacy POS Systems Without Scalability
- Old POS had no direct ERP integration.
- Limited ability to handle multi-store expansion and modern retail needs.
- No Real-Time Inventory Visibility
- Inventory data was not synced across retail stores and warehouses.
- Led to frequent stockouts, overstocking, and lost sales opportunities.
- Manual Processes in Warehouse Operations
- Picking, packing, and stock transfers relied on spreadsheets and manual inputs.
- Inefficiencies slowed order fulfillment and increased errors.
- Difficulty Tracking Dye Lots & Product Attributes
- Lack of detailed attribute-level tracking during warehouse operations.
- Made it harder to manage yarn and fabric inventory accurately.

- Enabled internal transfer orders between stores when local stock was unavailable.
- Advanced Inventory & Warehouse Management
- Custom rules for picking, refilling, and stocktaking with dye-lot sensitivity.
- Workflow to pick the inventory from a separate location within the same warehouse for the B2B orders and B2C orders.
- Real-time stock updates through “virtual stock” and “in-transit stock” workflows.
- Consolidation logic to optimize warehouse space by grouping similar items.
- Seamless Online Order Fulfillment
