Store Communicator
Information is a key commodity in ensuring growth and profitability. Although advances in technology have brought major benefits to a large number of organisations, many retail businesses have not been able to share in these due to the nature of their geographically distributed operations.
Vodat’s Store Communicator is a simple but extremely cost-effective store and head office information exchange and broadcast facility. It provides a complete intranet system within your organisation that:
- Removes excess paperwork
- Improves communications between stores and head office
- Helps rationalise business processes
- Allows store management to focus on selling
Designed specifically for the retail organisation
Store Communicator has been specifically designed for the retail organisation. This gives it a number of unique advantages over similar packages, such as those from Microsoft, including:
- Less expensive and more flexible licensing arrangements
- Can be easily adapted to follow specific systems and procedures
- Access to functionality can be decided by head office, preventing unauthorised, non-work related use of the Internet and e-mail
- Simple for shop staff to use
Store Communicator components
- Messaging - provides a locked-down e-mail facility where messages can only be sent to and from a list of pre-defined addresses, controlled by designated Administrator(s). You can attach any form of document that a store can read or print
- Bulletins and task management - management and departments can send bulletins to selected stores /regions and/or departments and set up tasks on diaries which can then be tracked
- Intranet Deployment - offers an easy mechanism for operating or interfacing to a company intranet. A separate content management facility enables departments such as marketing to control what stores can see and/or print in store - e.g. Pos material
- Workflow - provides the facility to design and create electronic forms, which can replace manual forms used to send information from stores to head office, and vice versa
- Dashboard views - provides a customisable “dashboard” for any function to view summary information regarding the status of messages and tasks, with a drill down facility to view exceptions in more detail
