Client Profiles


Madison Square Garden

Madison Square is located in New York City and is the home arena of the New York Knicks and Rangers. It also hosts many premiere events and concerts. They have over a dozen retail outlets within the Garden.

Project Scope: To determine the best POS and retail consulting technology strategy to meet the current needs and anticipated growth over the next seven to ten years. The discovery phase of the project included the evaluation of their current inventory management software system which was being used for retail sales and food and beverage sales. A determination had to be made if the food and beverage could be customized to meet the needs of the retail outlets this resulted in a “GAP” analysis to document the features that were missing. Once it was decided that a separate retail system was required a “System Needs” document was developed detailing the system requirements for, POS, merchandising, purchasing and receiving, customer tracking and Ecommerce. The project is currently is the vendor evaluation stage of the project.


Agata & Valentina

Agata & Valentina is a family-owned and operated specialty food business and New York institution established on the Upper East Side in 1993. A second location opened in Greenwich Village in 2012. Their business was born of a passion for fine foods from Sicily, Italy, and around the globe, which drives their desire to share the absolute highest quality products and authentic hand-made prepared foods and pastries with their customers. With a collective 150 years of experience between them, they bring a spirit of hands-on innovation and excitement, as well as tradition to every aspect of our business.

Project scope:

This project is my fourth with Agata & Valentina and involved the upgrading of their current POS system. The unique aspects of this project were food costing and recipe management requirements and the integration of the system to their online shopping site. Like many specialty retailers is today’s hyper competitive market enabling customers to shop by mobile devices and online were essential. The transition of the new system was completed just prior to Thanksgiving in time to meet the challenges of their busiest time of the year.
