I remember Stephen Tindall explaining his philosophy when opening his very first store. He spent half his money ($25k was it?) on good cash registers (and the other half on stock) because he thought it was essential that he knew well what his customers were buying. Despite his getting the importance of good systems, the WHS of today always seems to me to have under-invested in smart business systems. Ie, they seem to have no idea of stock levels (lots of something, nothing of something else), what is available in any given store, and the payment terminals seem to be some quirky technology you see nowhere else, etc.
Maybe that's my prejudice shining thru ...
