In The Pink Finds A Perfect Fit With Opterus Store Ops-Center
Opterus Inc., the fastest growing provider of web-based task management and store communications, recently announced that In the Pink Stores, Inc., a provider of luxury apparel, has chosen Opterus Store Ops-Center for improved communications and store execution management. With most of their stores located at remote resort communities in New England, In the Pink's unique business model incorporates a short selling season with extremely high peak weeks, and some are only open part of the year.
"We immediately saw the value in Opterus and believe that their solution meets our functional needs and is intuitive and easy to use," said Gordon Russell, CEO, In the Pink Stores, Inc. "Our resort stores are largely staffed with seasonal employees and the Opterus store communications platform is well suited to help us support them. We also plan on integrating Store Ops-Center with some of our other solutions, such as our POS/Inventory Control System, to take advantage of Opterus' extensive web services."
Russell also commented that In the Pink understands the value that Store Ops-Center will provide them being a simple, elegant solution. They know the advantages that a multi-tenant SaaS application brings such as scalability, performance, efficient and effective service and ease of upgrades.
Store Ops-Center is an on-demand, web-based retail portal designed to communicate corporate policy, day-to-day objectives, tasks and handle issues between corporate office and store locations. It enables retailers to rapidly and accurately transfer information to the stores completely and more effectively helps them to make more informed strategic enterprise-wide decisions. Retailers can easily deploy the Software as a Service (SaaS) Opterus solution with minimal IT impact, while providing improved store operations efficiency immediately upon deployment.
"We are excited about our partnership with In the Pink," said Janet Hawkins, president, Opterus Inc. "Opterus is focused on providing strategic solutions that bring real value helping retailers become more efficient and reduce costs. In the Pink helps reinforce the fact that our solution is applicable for retailers of all sizes and across all segments."
