Key associate workflows such as item inquiry, stock check, ordering, pack-down, price changes, merchandising, bay management, etc. were organized around a data-rich presentation of core objects - item, bay, department - to improve contextual awareness and to expedite decision-making and task execution.
A combination of drill-down and exception-driven real-time reporting on sales, inventory, gross margin, etc. across the different levels of the merchandising and location hierarchies allows store management to maintain greater awareness of key aspects of store operations (as units, aggregates, outliers, trends) and to develop a deeper understanding of the factors driving those metrics.
