Retailers' emphasis on store execution is based on the understanding that it is the bedrock of retailing success. However, integrating store operations with merchandising remains a challenge. Optimal coordination of merchandising and store execution, the over-arching categories under which the full Retail.net solution suite is organized along the continuum, will enable retailers to:

• Drive higher levels of in-stock, leading directly to higher sales and gross margin
• Enhance the customer shopping experience
• Leverage available payroll and support instore merchandising requirements
• Stop the breakdown in communications between corporate and store operations – a direct hit on efficiency, sales and profitability

It's all about numbers: for every single merchandising decision there are literally hundreds of impacts on stores, through the sheer numbers of staff at the retail store level. Plus, corporate staff can often handle a little complexity, or at least get help when they need it. At the store, everything has to be reduced to the most basic process possible.

This is a powerful economic concept. Anything that can be done to streamline any aspect of store operations, no matter how small, enjoys the multiplier effect – its value is realized across every person performing the task every time it's performed.

Tomax brings together an array of functionality to support this notion and deliver uncommon integration, communication, and collaboration in the area of store operations. Note that this goes past basic functions like inventory management to a variety of people/process functions like new hire processing, forms management, escalation, help desk, online reports and documentation.

• Perpetual inventory management
• Cycle counting, auditing and shrink management
• Automated receiving and backdoor functions
• Extensive support for handheld applications - almost every instore function can be managed on a portable device
• In-store merchandising, labeling and ticketing
• Robust in-store reporting and associate support
• Online, realtime reports and KPI's available to select store staff and management
• Online access to documents, reports, policy and procedure documentation
• Helpdesk
• Automated forms and workflow with escalation
