A cell phone retailer had committed to revolutionize how its customers experience its stores, bringing them an even more intense digital experience. Across the group’s stores, the cell phone retailer was rethinking the experience for its customers, proposing a new way to welcome them in its stores with ‘smart stores’.
THE CHALLENGE
The cell phone retailer needed support from RGIS to complete an audit of the existing stores to be able to implement new ‘smart stores’. New smart stores would incorporate real-life situations and new technology.
The cell phone retailer required RGIS to provide the following:
- Complete a compliance audit of all stores
- The data had to be uploaded to the customer’s workflow management system
- Minimal communication between stores and corporate headquarters made the audit necessary
