Connect Oasis, a leader in retail site visibility and intelligence technology, has implemented its Site-Specs mobile data collection / task management application for Staples Inc. The firm’s Store Planning and Merchandising Execution teams implemented the platform for an Apple roll-out across 1500 stores earlier this year. More recently it was used to capture photos and validate reset work for a multi category reset initiative across the chain. This release features an innovation that sends dynamic content emails with links to various participants for input on the project.
“The big benefit of Site-Specs is the ability to engage various stakeholders in a project at different stages for input in the form of checklists, photos and sign-off documents. The system automatically updates information in the cloud as stores are completed, allowing project teams to monitor progress. The implications for increased accountability and reduced execution times are very significant,” said Connect Oasis President, Terry Price. “This is a key component in our vision to improve merchandising compliance through better visibility to execution requirements (POG’s etc.) and validation of completed work (photos & checklists). We are thrilled to be working with the Staples team as they continue their efforts to deliver best in class retail experience” added Price.
