How do you track your stores' operational data?

Implementing a data movement system for operational data transfer is essential for retailers with multiple locations. It ensures that each store is running smoothly and brings your attention to any problem areas. Instead of one-by-one reviewing, Unwired RemoteLink automates the process through a web-based admin console that you can access from any company location. It allows you to track and modify system tasks and jobs to adapt to changes in store hours, high traffic times, and any other variances.

Operational Data

Understanding what kind of data is being organized, tracked and stored when you implement a data movement system is important. Not only are you tracking store sales information but you are also able to see real-time inventory data and stay updated on the progress and performance of your store employees.

Sales-Related Data

• Sales Data
• Gift/Store Card Information
• Pricing Information
• Promotion Information

Tracking this information keeps you abreast of each location's performance. It also shows you what promotions work best in which stores, the busiest hours for each, and where your margins are greatest. In turn, this helps your IT department plan software updates, data transfers, and job rendering when the client system isn't required for the store operation.

Inventory-Related Data

• Inventory Data
• Product Recall Information
• Supply Requisitions

Knowing your inventory inside and out allows every location to operate at maximum capacity. Be ahead of your shoppers by gleaning information from your sales data and provide the best customer service possible.

Employee-Related Data

• Manager Reports
• Employee Records
• Training Materials

Ensure that your staff receives the education they need and the necessary tools to perform at the highest level. As a single organization with many locations, consistency across all branches will help create and enliven your company brand.

System-Related Data

• POS Configuration Files
• Software Updates

Having system-related information lets your IT team implement any changes or maintenance as soon as they're needed. Automating IT communication closes the time-lapse that may have existed between store personnel and IT department, thus keeping your systems updated and running smoothly.

RemoteLink Implementation

When RemoteLink consultants install Unwired RemoteLink, the price will be contingent upon the size of your environment. The system itself handles 200 connections per server but is flexible. To accurately size an environment takes experience and expertise, but will greatly depend on the number of clients, or POS systems, you have. Each RemoteLink client could be a kiosk, register, laptop, tablet, or desktop. Estimating the number of “clients” your stores currently use, and the rate at which you plan to grow, allows the RemoteLink consultants to advise the best-fit system size for the present, with the ability to easily scale as your business expands.
