3 Strategies For Retailers to Deliver Hauntingly Amazing Customer Experiences this Halloween

3 Strategies For Retailers to Deliver Hauntingly Amazing Customer Experiences this Halloween

It’s that time of the year again when shoppers begin thinking about their purchases for Halloween.  As the air turns crisp and pumpkins appear on doorsteps, numerous opportunities lie ahead for retailers to attract customers, nurture relationships, and build a strong foundation ahead of the festive period. To be able to reap the benefits, retailers must be able to deliver magical shopping experiences.

In this blog, we take a look at three key strategies that retailers can use to deliver spooky and seamless customer experiences…

 

Using Limited Edition Halloween Products to Attract Customers

 

There is a fine line between tricks and treats for customers when it comes to Halloween shopping – and the decision can often be a result of inventory management practices. Poor inventory management doesn’t just give retailers a fright—it also scares away revenue and leaves customers haunted by a bad experience.

Stocking shelves with the right inventory is one of the foundational elements necessary for retailers to deliver top-tier customer experiences. Many retailers choose to stock limited edition items that are only available during Halloween in order to drive interest in their business. These could include Halloween-specific clothing, chocolates and other items packaged in Halloween-themed boxes. Retail giants such as Target and Lowe’s have already announced their Halloween collections in July – significantly ahead of Halloween, demonstrating their ambitions to capitalize on the Halloween sales opportunities.

 One way retailers can optimize their inventory management is by using an advanced tool that provides them real-time insights. Using the technology, retailers can turn on or off a store’s inventory feed with the tap of a button. This enables instant flexibility and control across retail channels, allowing inventory to be available where and when it is needed. Using Teamwork Commerce’s RFID Powered Stock Counter App, retailers can take the guesswork out of inventory and get real-time reports. The Android Bluebird RFID Scanner App, in conjunction with Teamwork Commerce, can streamline the stock count process, ensure that the inventory records are promptly updated, and provide real-time visibility into the inventory status. This allows retailers to make informed decisions based on up-to-date stock information.

This can enable brands to stock up on in-demand items just in time to satisfy eager shoppers, improving both customer experience and sales. After all, nothing should haunt brands’ shelves but the decorations!

 

From Themes to Experiences: Make the Customer Feel Special

 

From Halloween themes across physical and online stores to exclusive shopping experiences offering a Halloween vibe, retailers must go above and beyond to make the customer feel special. For physical stores, retailers can equip in-store associates with costumes or spooky job titles for the Halloween season. To further make in-store experiences more interesting, retailers can introduce special Halloween events in-store with exclusive performances and Halloween playlists all around the store.

 One way retailers can take the customer shopping experience to the next level is by creating Halloween-themed loyalty programs. This could include specific rewards on shopping during October, allowing customers to collect ‘pumpkins points’ as rewards and redeem them to buy spooky gifts. To be able to run these advanced and personalized rewards, retailers require cutting-edge customer relationship management (CRM) tools that can automate these processes, allowing retail associates to focus on providing value rather than manually calculating their rewards. The Teamwork Commerce Secure CRM tool allows retailers to create a single source of information around every individual customer, enabling consistent visibility of every shopper. As a result, retailers can help customers use their earned loyalty benefits across any channel with customer data & assets centrally visible.

 

Creating Omnichannel Magic to Scare Up Sales

 

To cater to modern customer needs, having a strong omnichannel presence is essential for retailers. This allows them to enable customers to shop at their convenience. While spooky in-store themes and promotions are crucial, retailers must connect them with their online platforms to deliver a magical bewitching shopping experience. By weaving their in-store tricks with their online treats, retailers can seamlessly cater to evolving customer requirements this Halloween.

However, integrating offline and online stores may not be as easy as it may seem. To strengthen their omnichannel presence and create consistent interactions with customers at every touchpoint during their shopping journey, retailers should deploy an all-encompassing retail technology stack that can weave different retail operations, both online and offline, together. This not only allows retailers to offer customers more convenience but also provides them with a holistic view of their operations, providing more insights and ultimately helping them make informed decisions.

As Halloween approaches, retailers should gear up with their strategies to capitalize on the opportunities around the season. Deploying the right technology can empower retailers to ensure top-tier customer experience and improved operational efficiency. Those who can enchant customers during Halloween can build a strong foundation for the upcoming shopping season.

Paris Fashion Week Recap: What Can Retailers Take Away From a Busy Retail Season?

Paris Fashion Week Recap: What Can Retailers Take Away From a Busy Retail Season?

It is officially autumn. The pumpkin spice lattes are out and Paris Fashion Week has been and gone again! This season was one of the busiest yet, as the annual week celebrated 50 years of fashion. Between September 23 and October 1, attendees were treated to over 70 shows and 38 presentations across the French capital. The runway also saw iconic brands such as Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Loewe, Hermès, Balenciaga, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton take centre stage.

As detailed in Vogue, this season was one to remember. Brands produced some truly spectacular moments from the outré sunglasses at Prada to the return of Alessandro Michele at Valentino. An array of celebrities were also on the scene with appearances from global stars such as Elton John, Harry Styles and Andrew Garfield.

With Paris already feeling the buzz left over from the Olympics and the aftermath of Paris Fashion Week, tourism levels are expected to continue to rise as we head towards the end of the retail year. So what are some of the key takeaways retailers can learn from such a jam-packed retail season?

 

International Impact

 

Paris and fashion go hand in hand. Fashion is a crucial part of the French economy and its cultural landscape. Paris Fashion Week had a 30% growth in media impact in 2023, and the expectation for this year is that the number has only increased.

The surge in tourists travelling to the fashion capital of the world also created a perfect moment for retailers to optimise sales opportunities. Ensuring customers enjoyed a positive experience will have been essential in building rapport with potential shoppers and enhancing brand reputation.

With visitors from all over the world having set their sights on the French capital, it is a vital time for retailers to brush up on their customer service skills to finish the retail year on a high. The Olympics welcomed over 1.7 million international visitors to the city. With tourism already on the rise, retailers have the opportunity to promote their brands to a global audience.

 

Savouring Experiences

 

On the runway this season, the top 2025 spring trends were revealed. Designers such as Dior featured a sport-inspired display, including well-check-adorned moto jackets. Lacoste showcased a preppy fashion comeback with variations of polo shirts and the Freedom Collection by Chloe’ was a ruffled chiffon parade of flowing dresses and boohoo-inspired looks.

During such a busy time in the French capital, retailers have had their hands full with shoppers wanting to get the latest fashion trends straight from the runway. Paris is home to some of the best luxury flagships such as Dior, Louis Vuitton and Chanel, and it has been vital for retailers to seize sale opportunities. During these busy periods, ensuring stores are stocked with products for eager customers should be a high priority. Teamwork Commerce’s RFID Powered Stock Counter App allows retailers to quickly scan all products at any stage of the supply chain, and create complete visibility of stock.

If shop floor products are running low, retailers will receive an alert and can act to restock areas of the store that need it. Additionally, RFID appliances help retailers manage inventory accuracy, allowing in-store associates to focus more on customer needs and less on having to navigate stock levels.

 

Shop Till You Drop!

 

According to Statista, inbound tourist spending is forecast to rise by 24 percent in France and by 13 percent in the French capital. Especially after Paris Fashion Week, customers will be seeking the latest fashion items, and retailers need to ensure they are putting their best foot forward in providing a seamless shopping experience.

Brands should prepare for an increase in footfall within brick-and-mortar stores. With seasonal events such as Black Friday and Christmas on the horizon, stores are expected to only get busier. To combat the influx of customers and avoid long wait times, Teamwork Commerce’s RFID-Powered Self-checkout technology allows retailers to facilitate transactions in 30 seconds or less.

When customers place their baskets in a designated area, RFID readers automatically scan all items accurately. This enables shoppers to complete the checkout process quickly and effectively, and retailers can focus on optimising sales opportunities. 

 

Keeping up with Fashion and Retail trends

 

Home to some of the most historic shopping districts such as the Haussmann-Opéra-Saint-Lazare quarter, retail has always been at the heart of Paris. After the hype of Paris Fashion Week, brands will be expected to have the latest fashions available at the drop of a hat.

To avoid any disappointed shoppers this season. Teamwork’s advanced Omnichannel Order Management System (OMS), online orders and in-store transactions are streamlined Offering features such as Buy Online, Pickup In-Store (BOPIS), Buy Online, Ship From Store (BOSFS) and Buy Online, Return In-Store (BORIS) fulfilment options. This allows retailers to create timely ways for customers to process returns and exchanges with minimal effort in-store or online.

With visitors heading to stores after an eventful fashion week, customers can shop in ways that suit them. Similarly, Mobile POS can help streamline the checkout process, allowing transactions to be completed anywhere on the shop floor. Instore associates can act quickly to limit queue times and effectively process payments while prioritizing customer service.

 

What’s Next?

The retail scene in Paris has been a busy one, from the Olympics to Fashion Week the city has been one of the tourist hot spots of the year. To finish 2024 on a high, brands need to ensure they keep up with retail technology trends by utilising RFID and omnichannel services. Entering the last few months of the year, busy shopping periods will continue. To ensure retailers are prepared to excel, it will be vital to provide key customer experiences, develop brand reputation and drive sales opportunities wherever possible.

Oasis Reunion: Are the 90s back? Definitely Maybe

Oasis Reunion: Are the 90s back? Definitely Maybe

Britpop legends, Oasis, took the UK by storm in August when they announced they were reuniting, 15 years after their storied break up. Brothers, and leaders of the band, Liam and Noel Gallagher – who have spent the last decade and a half in a deep feud, refusing to speak to each other – have finally put their differences aside. In a dramatic turn of events, the pair have given millions of Oasis fans what they’ve been waiting for, with the announcement of a 15-date stadium tour across the UK next summer with dates also being released across the US.

Live music tours have been having a major economic impact on local economies over the last few years. The world’s biggest tours have turned into cultural events, as seen with the likes of Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour and Taylor Swift’s Era’s Tour. Oasis sold out their 15 UK dates as quickly as ticketing platforms would allow, with, as expected, unprecedented demand from the nation to see the Gallaghers take to the stage together again. One knock-on effect that the chosen host cities will quickly take advantage of is the substantial economic boost to hospitality, retail and transport businesses. The events will bring in millions of pounds worth of business, only benefiting the local economies of London, Manchester, Cardiff and Dublin.

In the 30 years since Oasis released their debut album, Definitely Maybe, a lot has changed, especially when it comes to consumer relationships within fashion and retail. However, the impact of cultural events and the power of nostalgia can act as an effective tool for brands looking to capitalise on current Oasis fever.

 

Live Forever

 

With the Oasis reunion sending shockwaves through the music world and igniting a frenzy of excitement amongst many who look at the 90’s with strong nostalgia, comes a powerful reminder that some bands, and also brands, never lose their place in the public’s hearts.

The 90’s encapsulates an era that bridged music, fashion, and lifestyle to create some of the most iconic and loved fashion trends in the world. Oasis were a central figure in the Britpop movement which, at the time, had a major impact on fashion trends and aesthetics – think parka coats, bucket hats, Fred Perry polos and Adidas trainers. The Gallagher brothers each had such an iconic style that reflected pop culture and still resonates with current fashion trends.

Oasis’ reunion presents brands with the opportunity to tap into this cultural resurgence. Fashion labels can launch retro-inspired collections or limited-edition items that capture the style of the Britpop era while appealing to today’s audience. As 90s fashion continues its rise in 2024, Oasis will be a driving force behind its sustained relevance.

 

The Masterplan

 

There is still a year to go before the Oasis concerts take place, and we will no doubt see a number of brands attempt to take advantage of the nostalgia. Already, Manchester City Football Club, a team long associated with Noel Gallagher, have launched a kit celebrating the Definitely Maybe album. Conveniently timed just after the announcement of the reunion, the kit, named ‘Definitely City’, was the first of many Oasis-branded fashion moves we can expect over the next 10 months.  

At a similar time, Liam Gallagher was announced as the new face of Stone Island. Fronting the fashion brand’s autumn and winter campaign, much of the promotion for the campaign captures the Oasis frontman in a Stone Island parka, an item of clothing that has become synonymous with Liam’s name.

 The next brand to watch out for will undoubtedly be Adidas. For over 30 years, the Gallagher brothers have been closely connected with Adidas, especially the Superstar, Gazelle, and Samba sneakers. These weren’t just shoes, they became part of the Oasis image. Adidas, with its roots in working-class Manchester and football terrace culture, symbolised rebellion and style – values that perfectly aligned with Oasis’ ethos. Even before the reunion, the brand was continuing to create Oasis inspired footwear, and it is bound to be planning something big for 2025.

 The list almost certainly won’t stop there. The craze is too big to ignore. While streaming sites, Apple TV, Amazon Prime and Netflix are rumoured to be battling it out to film the Oasis reunion tour, there is little doubt that a number of fashion retailers will also be clamouring to get a slice of the lucrative pie.

 

Don’t Look Back in Anger

 

Oasis’ 2025 reunion is far more than a concert tour – it’s a cultural event that will redefine fashion, marketing, and live music. With the revival of 90’s trends such as bucket hats, baggy jeans, and oversized parkas, the Gallagher brothers are once again poised to influence a new generation of fashion and music lovers. Sometimes, you have to look back to go forwards – and it is certainly the case with Oasis. Brands will look to align with this moment, creating campaigns that resonate with fans old and new.

The resurgence of 90’s nostalgia fuels fashion, music and pop culture trends that can influence shoppers. It provides retailers with ample opportunities to create experiences and campaigns that encapsulate an era of Britpop and capitalise on the frenzy of excitement that Oasis have left fans feeling ahead of their tour.

3 Things to Ask Before Deploying a Retail Solution

3 Things to Ask Before Deploying a Retail Solution

A reliable tech stack is essential for retailers to thrive in today’s competitive market. Whether to provide shoppers with high-quality customer service or to simply streamline operations across all channels, advanced technology is required.

Today, the question isn’t whether retailers should use technology or not, but what to look for when deploying their retail solutions.

Technology deployment isn’t necessarily a straightforward process, and there are a number of considerations that retailers must keep in mind both before deployment and throughout the implementation process. In this blog, we take a look at the top three questions that retailers must ask before deploying a retail solution…

 

Beginning at the end: What’s the ultimate goal?

 

When beginning to think about deploying a new retail solution, it’s wise to start at the end. Retailers must identify the ultimate goal that they aim to achieve by deploying a retail solution. It can be to alleviate in-store congestion, to improve visibility across the business, to streamline order management, or all of them. Retailers must conduct a thorough audit of their business to identify main challenges and gaps that need to be addressed.

Once their pain points have been identified, it’s now time to look for the right solution. However, just before brands begin their search for the perfect technology, retailers must have an understanding of what their ideal solution delivers. This will help them choose the right technology seamlessly. If a retailer is looking to deploy a mobile point-of-sale (POS) solution, their ideal solution must streamline the checkout process, reduce queuing times, improve customer experiences, and enhance user experience for retail associates. 

 

Does the solution cater to the unique needs of the business?

 

It is critical for retailers to find a solution that meets their specific needs. Retail businesses must look out for advanced solutions that can be tailored to cater their personalized requirements. What does this really mean? If a retailer is seeking a self-checkout terminal to ease in-store congestion, they must ensure their chosen solution is capable of delivering swift and streamlined checkouts to limit queues and reduce in-store traffic. If the solution isn’t user-friendly or slow, it will not solve the end goal. Instead, it may make matters worse, causing shopper frustration and potentially negatively impacting sales opportunities.

What does the ideal technology look like in this case? The simple answer is RFID-Powered Self-Checkout technology. Teamwork Commerce’s Self-Checkout technology allows customers to complete the checkout process within seconds by automatically scanning their goods placed in a designated area. Retailers can significantly enhance the number of transactions completed during operating hours, optimizing checkout times without having to individually scan all items.

Coming back to the solution selection process, retailers must opt for live demonstrations and product pilots for their chosen solution to make sure it aligns with their goals and desired outcomes. Once this has been done, retailers must finally consider the long-term aspect of the deployment.

 

Will it be relevant in the long-term?

Technology deployment isn’t a one-time process, but an ongoing element that retailers must consistently review based on their evolving requirements. However, to be able to do that seamlessly, retailers must choose a solution that can evolve with changing consumer requirements. Brands should find a reliable solution that is flexible and can be regularly updated based on changing market trends and expectations.

A long-term approach to technology investment can serve retailers well, delivering sustainable business results as they keep ahead of competitors with their integrations. Importantly, retailers need to find the right technology partner who can guide them through the entire technology adoption process and help evolve their offerings over time. As a result, retailers can ensure that their deployed retail solution serves as effectively as possible in the long term – enabling them to streamline their processes, improve customer experiences, and drive maximum return on their technology investments.

Technology deployment in retail is a critical process, retailers must get it right in the first place to be able to reap its benefits. Those who partner with experienced IT partners who have a track record of delivering similar solutions in the retail space can seamlessly deploy innovative solutions.

Falling into Seasonal Change: 3 Trends Retailers Should Be Prepared For

Falling into Seasonal Change: 3 Trends Retailers Should Be Prepared For

With evolving trends and seasonal changes, consumer shopping preferences continue to shift. Retailers need to ensure they are catering to evolving consumer needs, providing for new trends as we approach fall, shortly followed by the winter period. As the festive sales period approaches, it’s important that retailers recognize and respond to new consumer interests to deliver high-quality experiences and maximize sales opportunities.

Retailers should always be looking inward, considering how they can continually enhance their offerings. This becomes especially critical at this time of year when consumers are beginning to turn their attention to festive shopping and Black Friday deals. This creates the perfect opportunity for retailers to assess their efficiency, capability and service level. They can see where they can improve to drive sales and increase revenue.

In this blog, we’ve taken a look at 3 key trends that retailers should be prepared for over the next few months, and how retailers can improve their processes to prepare for change…

 

End of Summer Sales and Discounts

As evenings get cooler, nights become longer and winter approaches, shoppers will likely begin refreshing their wardrobes. It’s important to clear space for new stock. It’s now that time when summer end-of-season sales and clearances tend to be popular. Retailers must focus on creating personalized offers and discounts on their end-of-summer sales, encouraging consumers to get their last-minute items in for more affordable prices.

In order to create personalized discounts, retailers can lean on real-time tools that facilitate insights into evolving consumer needs and retail operations. Teamwork Commerce’s real-time Analytics and Reporting tool provides retailers with clear visibility across live store performance, inventory and on-demand KPI reports. As a result, retailers can better understand their operational needs and consumer preferences.

Similarly, retailers must stay on top of inventory management, ensuring complete visibility of stock, and enabling teams to accurately monitor inventory levels as the end-of-summer sales clear space for new stock. Overall, this ensures consistency, consolidates back-end processes and allows retailers to confidently transition their seasonal stock while minimizing waste.

 

Black Friday Madness

Black Friday is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, date to remember in the retail calendar. According to Statista, in 2023, almost two-thirds of UK consumers said they were planning to spend across Black Friday and Cyber Weekend. Similarly, in 2023, £3.9 billion was expected to be spent in stores, highlighting the huge sales potential that merchants won’t want to miss.

To thrive during the busy shopping season and make the most of the Black Friday footfall, retailers need to streamline their processes and deliver seamless customer experiences. As the Christmas period shortly follows, consumers make conscious efforts to look out for appealing Black Friday deals. To effectively manage the surge in in-store footfall during this time, retail brands can leverage mobile point-of-sale (POS) solutions. The Teamwork Commerce Mobile POS system uses cloud-based technology to centralize and streamline all stored data. It gives staff the ability to handle a range of customer queries and complete transactions from anywhere across the shop floor. A queue-busting revolution, Mobile POS delivers a convenient experience for customers during an otherwise chaotic period.

Retailers should also lean on RFID-powered solutions that help retailers improve transaction accuracy – facilitating a reduction in human error – whilst enhancing customer interactions through shopper convenience. RFID-powered self-checkout provides shoppers with the ability to instantly scan their items, at their own pace, resulting in optimized checkout times. This helps stores increase transactions during working hours and maximize sales opportunities during Black Friday.

 

Tis the Season to be Jolly…

…well not just yet!

However, as we know, time flies. Retailers must be prepared to perfect their retail processes to boost sales around the holiday season. According to Deloitte, in 2023, shoppers planned to spend more at Christmas than they did in 2022, and tend to prioritize savings for Christmas spending. Christmas is one of the busiest shopping days in the year and consumers today tend to leverage hybrid shopping models that blend the convenience of online shopping with experiences of in-store browsing. In response to this, retailers must deploy advanced omnichannel retail solutions that empower their staff to deliver top-tier customer experiences.

Utilizing Teamwork’s real-time analytics to access buyer purchasing history can help staff provide more meaningful experiences to resonate with what shoppers are looking for.

Whether online or in-store, Christmas gift shopping is intense. To stay on top of transactions and orders, retailers must manage both available stock and online orders efficiently to ensure 100% product availability for both in-store and online purchases, supporting an omnichannel approach.

With Teamwork’s advanced Omnichannel Order Management System (OMS), online orders and in-store transactions are streamlined. The cloud-based infrastructure provides retailers total accuracy and the ability to easily manage and fulfil shoppers’ orders, from any location.

Using OMS, retailers can deliver improved customer experiences, providing consumers with the ability to leverage offerings such as Buy Online, Pickup In-Store (BOPIS) and Buy Online, Return In-Store (BORIS). Teamwork’s OMS creates quick and efficient ways for customers to process returns and exchanges, straight back to the purchasing card with minimal effort whether that be in-store with staff, or online through the returns manager – delivering a true omnichannel experience.

 

The Takeaway

It’s key that retailers look into their strategies to see how their current retail processes can be altered and improved. Staying on top of stock availability, order management systems and customer needs and interactions should be a priority for the coming months, to drive sales and increase revenue. With the right approach, retailers can see out 2024 on a high, and position themselves for an even more successful 2025.

Code and Commerce: Delivering Excellence in Retail Automation

Code and Commerce: Delivering Excellence in Retail Automation

It is no secret that efficiency lies at the heart of any successful retail operation. Fast, cost-effective and accurate processes create a foundation for retailers that enables them to thrive. Efficiency creates more time for associates, who can better allocate their working hours to more value driven tasks. It can free finances to be re-invested back into the business, and it can deliver reliable data, which can be analysed and actioned more effectively for enhanced organizational performance.

Efficiency is everything. In the fast-paced retail environment, technology – and more specifically, automation – has quickly become a key driver in efficient processes that enhance operations.

 

What is Retail Automation?

 

As a concept, automation is simple. The Cambridge Dictionary defines the term as ‘the use of machines and computers that can operate without human control’. Within the context of retail, this could be as straightforward as utilizing a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system to log and track customer interactions, and manage different marketing communications to customers who fit specific profiles. Retail automation has a wide range of use cases – from inventory and order management to post-transaction email receipts, and everything in between. These deployments are already in use across a number of retailers, and it has changed the sector as we once knew it, but the differentiator in today’s industry is in how retailers use automation.

 

The Challenge of Automation

 

As already mentioned, automation can be deployed across a range of touchpoints within the retail operation. This, in many instances, can drive significant results. If a retailer can automate 80% of its processes, all of which are otherwise slow, mundane admin-based tasks, why wouldn’t it? The retailer can save the necessary labor time for the remaining 20%, which is more value driven, based around delivering exceptional customer experiences.

In theory, this works brilliantly. 80% of tasks become highly efficient, accurate, and importantly, reliable. But in practice, this isn’t necessarily such a walk in the park. At some point, automated processes must communicate with other automated processes. The technologies deployed might not integrate with each other, in which case retailers have to insert a human-led process between the two automated tasks to facilitate the transition of data. This, ultimately, requires human intervention and defeats the point of automating tasks in the first place. The likelihood is that this will also be the case for other automated tasks throughout the retailer’s operation.

Before they know it, the retailer has actually only automated 60% of their operation because they have had to create new tasks in facilitating data transmission. Yes, they are likely still benefitting from their technology deployment, but the business will not be operating as efficiently as it could.

 

Creating Unified Commerce

 

Overcoming the challenge of multiple technology deployments within a retail stack can become extremely complex, quickly. But it doesn’t need to be.

 By finding the right partner, retailers can deploy an all-encompassing approach to retail technology. Teamwork Commerce provides a full-service product suite that delivers seamless automation to retailers, without sacrifice. Incorporating Inventory Management, Order Management, Secure CRM and Mobile Point of Sale (POS) and Clienteling, Teamwork Commerce’s solutions all communicate seamlessly, in real-time to ensure retailers operate at maximum efficiency with minimal human intervention. Better yet, all data is captured and presented to provide high-quality reporting and analytics, enabling retailers full, immediate access to information that enables them to make better business decisions, faster.

 With the right technology deployed, retailers can create efficient and effective automation. Furthermore, it delivers significantly enhanced business performance while freeing the time of associates to create exceptional customer experiences.
