Integrate Your Business Strategies For Effectiveness
As a retail business grows, it’s natural for the various departments to silo into seemingly independent entities if they are not deliberate about integration with each other. Before the introduction of retail management software technology, this isolation was inevitable because there really wasn’t a way to do your department’s job and interconnect with other departments at the same time.
Integration Provides The Missing Links
There are correlations between the human body and the way a retail business is managed. In Market Pilgrim’s infographic, Does Your Marketing Gel With Your Social Customer Service Team?, the example of left brain/right brain is used to illustrate the way that marketing and customer service teams have different skills and goals but need to work together to be effective. Both sides of the brain are necessary for our bodies to move and operate, and both sides of the brain are also necessary for effective communication.
This need to work together is characteristic of the entire human body. If an organ isn’t functioning as an integrated part of the whole system, there will be developing health problems. One of the signals the body uses to get our attention is pain.
Pain Points To Integration Problems
Just like pain points to a problem in the body, pain points in a business identify an area where something needs to change for the health of the business. ChainDrive’s free live demo questionnaire uses a list of potential pain points as a starting place for helping us customize your demo to meet your needs.
Addressing the pain points is the first place to start in restoring and optimizing the effectiveness of a business and its health.
Integrated Retail Management Software Solves Problems
Just like the brain and nervous system function to communicate and integrate the entire body, a good integrated retail management software solution will function to communicate and integrate the entire retail business for maximum effectiveness. It takes more than just the software, though. With ChainDrive’s customer service teams, you get the support needed to utilize the technology throughout your business and integrate your various strategies to become a healthy, functioning enterprise.
