The Connect 2.0 app focuses on digitizing retail store operations which usually comprise a lot of manual activities. The app empowers retail store teams to succeed by making them more efficient and engaged through communications, training, helpdesk and workflows. It enables the store teams to perform key store activities such as omnichannel order fulfilment and visual merchandising using their smartphones. Apart from this, the Connect 2.0 app also has new modules such as Settlement Reports, Retail Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Leaderboard, Store Weekly Performance, Training and Attendance.

The Connect 2.0 app’s features are tailored specifically for each employee based on the role.

Retail store employees and the business teams at ace turtle can assess KPIs for sales in real time on their smartphones. The app eases various complex tasks such as omnichannel order fulfilment. With the Sales Target module integrated into the functionality of the app, retail store employees can constantly assess their performance and seek assistance for visual merchandising among other tasks for improvement.

“The feedback from the store staff on Connect 2.0 app’s adoption has been quite encouraging. Buoyed by the response, there are multiple new features in the pipeline such as Alteration, Noticeboard, Footfall Integration, Product Search, Trial Room Assistance, and Gamification among others,” says the company statement.
