MerchanNet is a comprehensive, Microsoft Access-powered piece of software that provides you with an appropriate environment and all the necessary tools for managing everything from costs, orders, purchases, inventory, and shipping, all the way up to risk management solutions for your clothes business, retailer, or even factory.

As mentioned above, the app is Access-based which, evidently, means that you will first have to make sure that Microsoft Office Access Runtime is present on your computer's system. Once that's been taken care of, simply launch the app's wizard-based installer and follow through the whole deployment process.

Of course, this is a fairly advanced app that also offers the possibility of a so-called multi-user installation which requires a little bit more effort, as described in this official installation guide.

One of the app's best features becomes evident right from the start, namely its very user-friendly nature. Yes, it runs from an Access environment, but all the app's sections and features are neatly displayed in well-organized section.

Without going into too much detail, the main focus here is to standardize almost all aspects of your merchandising process, to improve efficiency and profits, to minimize mistakes, and to improve the overall quality of the finished product.

It goes without saying that even though, as a whole, this is a very novice-accessible app, you will still require a fair bit or practice time until you get the hang of all its sections and menus. Luckily, this is one of those apps with a very sensible development team behind it, hence, you can benefit from a very well-sorted general instructions guide.

MerchanNet is actually a very useful and quite capable app, despite what you may think based on the fact that's Access-based. Not only that, but it's also well-documented and an incredibly wide array of cover-all-the-bases features.
