RIMS: RIMS is used for analysis and it has all the historical data. They haven’t outsourced it. BSO has an automated system in form of RIMS that information is automatically passed to the production department that these articles (designs) are less than minimum inventory level and hence the other departments work for that problem and distribute that article within the short time span. all the data regarding daily sales is stored in it and then it passes information to RIMS. POS only stores data that is current. with the help of software engineers. BSO (BATA shoe organization) has developed RIMS on their own. so in that way it helps the top management to make decisions and thus can be categorized as Decision Support System. The main purpose for RIMS is to integrate all the data and provide the required information to both middle level and top management. POS works as initiative for the integration. . It also reduces their cost as they have not to bear the expenses to maintain large amount of stock in all the stores as well as it assures that the orders are fulfilled in time according to the upcoming demand from each area in which they are operating.Point of Sales: POS is in place in each and every retail store. it doesn’t deal in historical data. it is also used to check the minimum inventory level.
