What We Deliver
A lower-cost solution, customized to your needs and providing the same or better benefits achieved by the early adopters
The store is simultaneously the first three feet of the demand chain and the last three feet of the supply chain. Yet there is less visibility into, and consistency in, what happens within the store than in any other area of the enterprise. High turnover, low payroll budgets, and competing directives from corporate lower productivity and compliance, resulting in poor customer service.
To ensure their stores reflect and support overall corporate strategy, leading retailers have implemented store execution applications. The result - increased sales, reduced costs and improved productivity. The high ROI they achieved, despite the multi-million dollar price tag, is well documented. We believe more retailers could implement Store Execution/Task Management if there was a lower-cost alternative.
What We Deliver
We deliver a store execution solution with lower initial and ongoing costs, customized to your exact needs. It will provide the same, or better benefits achieved by the early-adopters, including improved:
- Productivity - Tasks are coordinated and priorities approved by all stakeholders
- Automation, visibility and task tracking
- Compliance - Product recalls, RTVs, and price changes
- Promotional and product launch effectiveness
- Customer service - Associates and managers have more time to spend on the floor
An industry analyst recently described Store Execution products as "BPM on steroids." Few companies use even 75% of the functionality in any given software product. So, why pay a high license fee and ongoing maintenance costs for functionality you'll never use? Athens Group can develop a much more cost-effective solution on a Business Process Management (BPM) platform. The result will be a more flexible application that can be easily configured for a quick start and easily modified to meet headquarters-to-store communication and task management needs. The same platform can then be used to build more solutions to improve operational processes, visibility and performance – delivering even higher ROI.
