Deliver a great retail experience consistently by streamlining processes across all branches. Digitize brand standard assessments and training courses to communicate changes to operating procedures, visual merchandising, promotions, and more.
“Getting SafetyCulture platform out to 760+ shops, with so many employees was surprisingly easy. It’s not often you get that in a rollout of this magnitude. We rolled it out in a matter of weeks.“
Minimize stock loss
Shop theft, damaged goods, and inventory stock discrepancies can result in money down the drain. Use data from completed inspections, reported issues, and sensors to spot trends, monitor inventory levels, and compare performance across stores so you can put the right measures in place.
“Now we have clear evidence that our procedures really work. When compliance is low, we see more stock loss. It’s hard to argue with that data in front of you.”
