Description

Ideaca's Microsoft SharePoint Retail Collaboration solution helps organizations stay at the fore-front of ongoing trends and challenges in a retail environment. As the pace of retail increases, a number of collaboration related business imperatives have emerged, indicating a need for:

- Gaining better business insight 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
- Better allocating resources through automated stock monitoring and alerting
