A Stock-Control and Invoicing System using a Gamma 3 Computer

D. R. Palmer

De La Rue Bull Machines Ltd., London, UK

Dorothy Perkins Ltd. are large-scale retailers of women's wear, with a chain of 167 branches throughout Britain. They handle a considerable amount of merchandise and the quantity is continually increasing. The Directors of the Company have been well aware of the necessity for a comprehensive stock-control system in a trade where trends vary rapidly. Up-to-the-minute information on stock is also essential to prevent over- and under-buying. To this end, a decision was made towards the end of 1960 to install De La Rue Bull data-processing equipment.
