How Does It Work?

Messaging

Retail managers can send and receive messages, set and track tasks for stores and departments, design forms for in-store use and send point of sale materials on demand. Retail stores can track their own diarised tasks and access a library of approved materials.

Bulletins and Task Management

Retail management and departments, as authorised, can send bulletins to selected stores /regions and/or departments, and set up tasks on diaries which can then be tracked.

Intranet Deployment

Store Communicator 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 materials.

Workflow

Store Communicator 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. As part of the standard implementation, Vodat will provide a number of pre-defined forms to cover basic in-store processes. These can obviously be tailored to suit client requirements.

Dashboard Views

This works on the principle of providing 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.

Store Communicator is a retail management software system has been designed for its ease of use. it includes auto help features and prompts in the form of drop down menus and pre defined lists.

Comprehensive functionality enables staff to communicate simply and effectively in the every day retail business process.
