MSCs changing platform

Is it just me or are a bunch of MSCs changing platforms this year??? Seems like a mass exodus over night. I have not seen this in previous years. Just on top of my head... Coyle, Goodwin, Jancyn, Mercantile to name a few.

I was thinking that too. On one hand, a lot of the platforms used by these MSCs feel to me as somewhat outdated- SASSIE and Prophet both look like they haven't been updated since the late 90s. Shopmetrics has its faults (it gets bogged down when doing long reports, like the detailed ones I do for Coyle), but I'd say it's better under the hood than almost any other MS software I've used.

we could go back to when each company had its own reporting platform aka trendsorce, maritz, isc,. Anyone want to add anymore

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.

What was at the time Shop N Chek must have really paid the programmers that wrote its custom software well, as the same software has more or less survived as the current day Market Force platform. It would be interesting to see how well something like SASSIE stands up to a Market Force-sized load; my guess is the experiment wouldn't end well if done with actual shops.
