Total Wine & More ‘Uncorks' Opterus To Provide Centralized Communication And Task Management
Toronto, ON – Opterus Inc., the fastest growing provider of web-based task management and store communications, today announced that Total Wine & More, America's Wine Superstore, has implemented Opterus Store Ops-Center to manage tasks and projects and to obtain valuable feedback from their stores.
"We wanted a solution that offered one location for stores to get their list of tasks/projects that needed to be executed by a particular date. We also wanted to find a task management solution to capture all the information accurately and in real-time. It was also important for us to gather feedback on the tasks/projects in order for us to understand the amount of time it took stores to complete," said Colleen Matijasick, Manager of Communications at Total Wine & More. "It's exciting to see this come to fruition. The Opterus team did a fantastic job in helping us with modifications and enhancement requests that made the process not only very easy to implement but also quick."
Opterus provides retailers with tools to improve retail operational efficiency through enhanced store communications and compliance monitoring of corporate objectives. Store Ops-Center is an on-demand, web-based retail portal designed to communicate corporate policy, day-to-day objectives and tasks, and handle issues between the corporate office and store locations. It enables retailers to rapidly and accurately transfer information to the stores more effectively, helping them to make more informed enterprise-wide decisions. Opterus customers see significant immediate cost benefits, including improved productivity, increased employee satisfaction and retention, and reduced paper usage and travel costs for store visits.
"Our approach from day one has been to create a solution that solved the entire retail communications problem, not just pieces of it," said Janet Hawkins, president, Opterus Inc. "Store Ops-Center is a simple, elegant and agile solution that has been designed to fit the needs of any retailer, of any size, in any vertical."
