One platform, built for retail

Retail operations and retail finance, built to work as one.

Volparo is our retail ERP platform, previously known as Retailers' Computer Services (RCS). The name blends "volume" and "prepared": a reliable platform that keeps every moving part working as one. It helps retailers manage stock, sales, service, purchasing, accounts and reporting in a single connected system.

  • Automatic credit approval & scoring
  • Project delivery from design to rollout

Why retailers stay

Built for big-ticket retail, supported for the long term.

Truly integrated

Warehouse receival to point of sale to finance and the ledger, all in one system. Sell, deliver and bill without rekeying a thing.

Retail finance native

Rental, consumer mortgage, lease, interest-free and in-house credit with automatic credit scoring and cycle billing built in.

Hosted & secure

Run on our hosting for a low monthly fee, or on your own infrastructure. Secure web integration either way.

Serial-level control

Track stock at serial, item, standard-cost and perpetual levels, with furniture build, trade-ins and RF warehousing.

Long-term partnership

We don't disappear after go-live. Ongoing support and a relationship measured in decades, not contract terms.

Tailored to you

Take it out of the box, or have us shape modules, reports and workflows around the way your business actually trades.

The integrated module suite

Nine modules. One transaction trail.

Every module shares the same data, so a sale at the register flows straight through stock, debtors and the general ledger with no rekeying. Select a module to see what it does.

The differentiator

Consumer finance, built in, not bolted on.

What sets the platform apart is native retail finance. Rental, consumer mortgage, lease, interest-free and in-house credit are first-class account types, not afterthoughts. Automatic credit approval with a user-defined scoring model links to the credit reference database, and customers are billed automatically on their account anniversary.

It is the same depth that has run national-scale rental and credit programs for Australian retailers for decades, now out of the box or tailored to your business.

Case study · Mogo

A car-buying platform that scaled to a Newscorp investment.

Mogo connects car buyers with dealers. Evolving Solutions designed, built and hosted the platform, letting buyers configure a vehicle and its options, then routing leads to the right dealers to quote and chat through to a deal.

It auto-scales under load and runs across Apple, Android, tablet and desktop. Newscorp liked the product enough to buy a share of the company.
