How to Manage Your Department Store Efficiently
Efficiency and employee performance are the key to managing a profitable department store. To make that happen, you need a retail management solution that can keep up with all of your important processes and measure your key performance indicators. Here’s what you need at a minimum:
- A centralized database – Instead of a database for each of your departments, you need one central database. You can manage all of your inventory from that one database. It would be a nightmare to try to manage all of your inventory, and all of your customers, from multiple databases.
- Promotional rules manager – You’ll need a tool for managing promotions in each of your departments. Whether you run store-wide promotions or department-only promotions, an efficient tool to manage all promotions is essential.
- Clientieling with CRM – Integrate your CRM into your database to know more about each customer and how to meet each customer’s needs. Know their buying habits, when they shop, and their communication preferences.
- Track commissions – In retail, commissions can sometimes get complicated. Never lose a commission when you track every employee’s performance in real-time all day every day.
- Manage your inventory – Know how much product is on order, on your shelves, and in transit. Know the status of every piece of product the moment it enters your inventory. Instead of a database for each of your departments, you need one central database. You can manage all of your inventory from that one database. It would be a nightmare to try to manage all of your inventory, and all of your customers, from multiple databases.
