Retail
Large retail chains spend a great deal of time and travel trying to gain an edge over the competition. Corporate managers are in frequent communication with store managers to ensure that all stores have a consistent look and feel, that merchandise is properly displayed, and that customers receive quality service. Our videoconferencing solutions significantly improve communications throughout an organization, making it both more effective and more efficient:
- Large retail chains use videoconferencing to connect with their corporate buyers to discuss new products, design, and other merchandising issues rather than gathering in one location at the expense of travel
- Several of the larger retail conglomerates require their suppliers and manufacturers to have compatible videoconferencing systems to check line status, product availability, price, and delivery schedules
- Extranet meetings are used to announce new products and services, establish priorities, and set immediate-action items
- Being able to utilize telepresence to communicate clearly any new pricing, projections, forecasts, and sales information means decisions can be made on the spot in a matter of minutes instead of days
- Most conference systems give conference participants the ability to collaborate and interact so they can view financials, Excel spreadsheets, and other data for a better understanding of the company's position
- Some retailers use videoconferencing to speak with contacts in remote countries where their products are manufactured. Whatever the product, videoconferencing enables retailers to view the products and sometimes even the production
- Manufacturers can quickly and easily meet with the retail sales staff to provide product education
- Sales managers can quickly and easily meet with their salespeople to provide training and coaching
- The retail industry can see immediate results in reducing time-to-market and reap the benefits of increased productivity by being able to communicate on an "as needed" basis with their suppliers and manufacturers
