Retail Concepts, Inc. Chooses Opterus For Increased Operational Performance And Compliance
Opterus Inc., the fastest growing provider of web-based task management and store communications, recently announced that Retail Concepts, Inc., an Adventure Sporting Goods retailer, has implemented Opterus Store Ops-Center. Retail Concepts is looking forward to increased operational productivity of more than 20 percent as seen by other Opterus customers.
"As we continue to grow, we need to centralize all communications to our stores in order to maximize efficiency. Store Ops-Center gives us an instant store portal that will allow us to manage all our communications to the stores and track our task compliance," said Shelly Nixon, Vice President, Information Technology at Retail Concepts, Inc. "We reviewed several solutions for operational efficiency, and Opterus has been very responsive and accommodating throughout the process. One of the main reasons we chose Opterus is that we believe they are a partner that we can grow with, not simply another software provider. We fully expect that the increased efficiencies of Store Ops-Center will quickly translate into cost savings."
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.

"Store Ops-Center is fast, affordable and agile enough to fit the needs of any retailer, so I am confident that Retail Concepts, like our current customers, will see substantial benefits from improved task execution and real cost savings throughout their entire organization."
