Connecting the Retail Enterprise Through Collaboration

As customers increasingly drive the retail demand chain, successful retailers will increasingly use portal and intranet technologies to connect with customers, suppliers and across the enterprise between headquarters and store-front operations. An effective means to collaborate is crucial to stay at the fore-front of ongoing trends and challenges in a retail environment.

Industry Challenges

As the pace of retail increases, a number of collaboration related business imperatives have emerged, indicating a need for:

  • Surfacing appropriate information from disparate line of business (LOB) applications such as merchandising, ERP and HR
  • Gaining better business insights across sales channels and retail networks
  • Streamlining the sharing of information both internally and externally with partners and suppliers
  • Providing role-based access to information such as real-time inventory levels, price lookups, labour scheduling, on-line training, HR profile updates and store operations procedures
  • Simplifying interactions across the organization; for example, corporate headquarters, category managers, marketing staff and store fronts for promotion management
  • Enhancing business processes and reducing errors through simple, easy-to-use technology with minimal training
  • Better allocating resources through automated stock monitoring and alerting
