Retailers from specialty to big box to grocery and quick service are all feeling the competitive pressures in the current economic climate. It is now even more critical that retailers are getting products to the shelves faster, increasing conversion and basket size and enhancing the customer service experience to ensure return visits. The Vortex Connect application suite enables communication throughout the organization from head office to distribution center to the stores or restaurants. Employees can easily execute on corporate’s objectives and be able to provide transparency on the entire process.
With customer experiences positively impacted by a more tenured staff and the high cost of recruiting and training new staff, it is critical that retention be front and center for today’s retailers. Providing employees with a differentiated employee experience that matches their mobile lifestyle will result in retention turning into absolute employee loyalty.

Mobile Manager Connect and Operations Connect allow Managers to focus on customers and their goals by providing time and attendance, scheduling and task functionality in their hands instead of tethering them to the back room.

Shifts are filled faster. Customers are treated to the perfect level of service.

Having a clear set of tasks from one source managers are able to execute the tasks in line with all corporate initiatives and at the right time via web or smartphone and still be able to be on the floor helping customers. Conversely, visibility at the corporate and district level is finally in real-time all the time.
