Mothercare chooses Coda for finance system

Mothercare signs deal to use Coda finance system across entire group

Written by Nicholas Neveling

Coda, the accounting software group, is to expand the services it offers to Mothercare after agreeing a deal to supply the group with financial software and services.

Already in use at two subsidiaries within Mothercare, Coda was chosen as the preferred system for group-wide accounting at the listed retailer.

Its flexible nature and user definable screens, along with its ability to integrate smoothly with the retailer's other business systems, were instrumental in the decision to roll out the software across the entire business.

'We are confident that Coda's software will support our complex Group structure,' said Mothercare's financial controller Mike Rainer.

The Coda system allows all store transactions to be held in great detail, enabling in-depth analysis and reporting – for example by period, by week, by day, by store. It also offers high-volume invoice matching which is vital for any retailer.

The addition of an integrated business intelligence tool from Cognos will mean that Mothercare has end-to-end accounting, reporting and analysis capabilities.
