WS_FTP Professional for Retail

In retail, up-to-date data is crucial in an increasingly competitive environment. Retail stores use WS_FTP Professional and WS_FTP Server for a countless common file transfer tasks. For example, WS_FTP Professional is used to automatically update the corporate office with the daily sales receipts or exchange sales and inventory data with an SAP system at company headquarters. Some retailers use WS_FTP Professional's scheduling capability to transfer financial information, inventory, and POS sales data to an FTP server at corporate headquarters on a weekly, daily, or even hourly basis. Companies also use FTP to integrate ordering and inventory management system with the central accounting and financial applications at company headquarters.
