InMotion Entertainment, the US's largest electronics airport retailer delivering portable entertainment to the travellers market, has faced years of inventory control issues due to limited store space, writes Retail Customer Experience, and plans to merge with another airport retailer only added to the predicament.

Integrating the two companies' business management systems required InMotion to find a solution that could handle multiple sales channels while providing real-time inventory updates to prevent overstock in stores.

With the help of Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Tectura, InMotion deployed Microsoft Dynamics NAV to create a customised enterprise resource planning system that uses real-time information to better manage inventory and vendor relationships.

Heathrow Express train tickets will be sold using the GuestLogix Mobile Virtual Store retail platform.

The initial roll-out will be with a global carrier on all flights originating from New York City.
