Overview

RETAILvantage is a retail management system for furniture and home goods retailers, sold under the PROFITsystems brand, one of the longest-standing software names in US furniture retail. Inventory management, point of sale, accounting, distribution, and customer relationship management arrive as one industry-specific package. The brand today operates inside Infios, the supply chain software group formerly known as Koerber Supply Chain Software.

Vendor, history, ownership

The lineage starts in a family business. PROFITsystems traces back to the Stark family furniture stores in Colorado, whose owners built one of the first computerized systems for their own stores and later commercialized it; the software company took shape in Colorado Springs. HighJump Software acquired PROFITsystems, and HighJump itself became part of the German Koerber Group in 2017. In March 2025, Koerber Supply Chain Software, a joint venture of Koerber AG and the investment firm KKR, rebranded as Infios, which now holds the PROFITsystems product line. The vendor states that more than 700 retailers have used its systems.

Core functionality

Inventory management with barcoding, point of sale, order entry with special orders, distribution and delivery management, general ledger accounting, business intelligence, and CRM make up the package. Ecommerce and EDI connectivity extend the core. Wrapped around the software is a consulting and education program the vendor calls the Total Retail Success System, including performance groups and benchmarking for furniture retailers.

Typical customers

Independent and multi-store furniture, bedding, and home goods retailers in North America. The usual profile is an established retailer that needs integrated accounting plus inventory visibility from warehouse to showroom, not a standalone POS. Competition comes most directly from STORIS, and from web-native systems such as PointCentric in the same vertical.

Licensing, hosting, cost

The current offering is marketed as cloud-hosted, while long-standing customers also run on-premises installations. Pricing is not published; quotes track store count, users, and modules. Two questions belong in every proposal: what the migration path looks like for a legacy installation, and what the contract terms are under the Infios organization. Model the multi-year number with a structured cost guide instead of comparing license fees alone.

Editorial verdict

Decades of furniture-specific logic are baked into this system, and the software-plus-consulting model suits retailers that want operational benchmarking as part of the deal rather than a bare license. Treat it as a retail management system, not a general ERP: POS and full accounting are integrated, manufacturing scope is absent. The ownership chain is the honest concern here. PROFITsystems to HighJump to Koerber to Infios means a small furniture niche now sits inside a large supply chain software portfolio, and roadmap attention in such portfolios is finite. Retailers who want a vendor thinking about nothing except home furnishings will be more comfortable with an independent specialist. Everyone else should make Infios state what the coming years of investment in this product line look like, then compare that answer against the vertical specialists.

Frequently asked questions

Who owns RETAILvantage today?

RETAILvantage is the flagship product of PROFITsystems, which has been part of a larger software group for years. HighJump Software acquired the company, HighJump was bought by the Koerber Group in 2017, and the Koerber supply chain software business rebranded as Infios in early 2025 as a joint venture of Koerber AG and KKR. The PROFITsystems brand and website remain active for the furniture retail product line, so buyers deal with a familiar name backed by a much larger owner.

Is RETAILvantage a full ERP system?

It integrates point of sale, inventory, distribution, accounting, and CRM in one database, which covers the operational core of a retail business. Manufacturing and multi-entity corporate functionality are not part of it, so the accurate label is vertical retail management system rather than general-purpose ERP. For furniture retailers the distinction matters little in daily use, because the furniture-specific workflows are the reason to buy.

Which retailers is RETAILvantage built for?

Independent and multi-store furniture, bedding, and home goods retailers in North America, typically established businesses that need integrated accounting together with inventory visibility from warehouse to showroom. The vendor states that more than 700 retailers have used its systems. Single-location startups looking only for a till and a simple stock list are over-served by it.

What deployment options does RETAILvantage offer?

The vendor currently markets RETAILvantage as a cloud-hosted, industry-specific system. Many long-standing customers still operate earlier on-premises installations, and for them the practical question is the upgrade path into the hosted environment. Clarify hosting location, backup arrangements, and support terms under the Infios organization during evaluation.

How much does RETAILvantage cost?

PROFITsystems does not publish pricing. Quotes are prepared individually and depend on the number of stores and users, the modules selected, and services such as data conversion, training, and performance group membership. Request a full multi-year proposal and compare total cost of ownership against competing furniture retail systems rather than looking at license fees alone.

What is the Total Retail Success System?

It is the consulting and education program the vendor wraps around the software, including performance groups and benchmarking for furniture retailers. In practice it means part of the value on offer is advisory rather than technical, which appeals to retailers that want operational comparison data alongside their system.

How does RETAILvantage compare with STORIS?

Both products serve the same US furniture retail niche with integrated POS, inventory, delivery, and accounting. STORIS is an independent, privately held vendor focused solely on home furnishings, while RETAILvantage sits inside the large Infios supply chain software portfolio and couples its software with consulting and benchmarking programs. Retailer preferences usually come down to functional detail, migration effort, and confidence in each roadmap, which makes a structured side-by-side evaluation worth the time it takes.
