Data Management

RICS Enterprise enables centralized, real-time management of your data. Both updated and new data is immediately available to all applicable stores. No longer will each store have to setup their own store-level data or wait until the next nightly data refresh until updated data is sent down from the main computer. RICS Enterprise reduces the total cost of ownership by taking the store manager out of the IT business allowing them to focus on serving customers and mentoring employees.
