How to Optimize Frontline Retail Management

Inefficient Store Operations Management

Headquarters managing multiple retail stores often face difficulties in individually managing each frontline employee's tasks. This leads to inefficient communication among HQ - Store Managers - Store Staff which eventually causes poor store operations management.

We would like to introduce 4 features of Shopl to support frontline team communication for better store management.

Deliver important messages with Notice feature

Instead of using methods like messengers, group chat, email, or face-to-face communication, try using Shopl for easy delivery of information.

You can set recipients by store & employee title, and Shopl will alert all relevant employees with images, files and additional information of the announcement. Real-time read-status list also helps to monitor the read status of each employee. In case any employee misses out the alert, the sender can easily resend it using ‘push notification button’ to ensure the end-to-end delivery.

Streamline store management tasks

In store management, there are repetitive tasks that need to be performed regularly. However, it becomes challenging to monitor and track these tasks in real-time. Moreover, supervisors who spend more time outside the office visiting stores find it difficult to communicate with store managers in real-time. To address these challenges, Shopl provides efficient features tailored to store operations, facilitating seamless communication and task management with store employees.

1) Simplify repetitive tasks with just a few clicks

With Shopl's "To-Do" feature, both headquarters and store managers can assign tasks to specific stores or employees and monitor their progress in real-time. Additionally, to ensure stores strictly follow the display guideline , Shopl supports AI-based analysis of task guide photos uploaded by HQ VM team,and comparison with store photos uploaded by employees.

2) Enhanced Retail Store Visits & Audits

Supervisors constantly need to plan store visits ahead and Shopl allows them to manage their visits systematically by providing achievement status.

Furthermore, they can use their smartphones to fill out audit reports easily, hence reporting can be done real time. They can also attach supporting materials such as photos and files, consolidating all reports in one place for easier management.

Report store issues quickly and monitor them in real-time

In a store environment, there are situations where issues need to be reported promptly to managers and/or relevant internal teams. Without a proper system, it can be challenging to report issues quickly and often, these poorly addressed issues can cause customer dissatisfaction. Shopl addresses this challenge by providing an Issue&Resolve PostingBoard feature that allows employees to report issues using just their smartphones. Issues are addressed to pre-assigned parties and handled smoothly according to internal processes once the board is set up.
