Media Advisory Notice: Retail Manager Solutions Limited

MINSTEAD, U.K. - March 4, 2016 - PRLog -- Where: Retail Business Technology Expo (RBTE (http://www.retailbusinesstechnologyexpo.com/)) - Stand 970

Date: Wednesday 9th March 2016

Time: 15:00 - 16:00 hrs

Briefing Purpose:

Karen Dyke (Managing Director of RMS) will be formally launching RMS' new flagship product called Metro (http://www.retail-manager.com/what-is-metro/) whilst also confirming multiple new customer wins (including three major Tier 1 UK retailers), all of whom are deploying Metro.

Background to Metro:

For more than a decade RMS have been providing retail, hospitality and healthcare teams with a range of software tools to help manage their distributed businesses more effectively. With solutions designed to support Operations, Compliance, HR, Buying, Project and Marketing teams, RMS is proud to be working with more than 80 of the UK’s leading and best known retail brands.

RMS customers value the open and collaborative culture, which in turn makes it easier for them to engage. This culture has developed an innate ability to listen deeply to customer-specific and industry wide challenges and respond with insightful solutions and methodologies, which is what differentiates RMS from their competitors.

In the past, each RMS solution has typically stood alone, being deployed by the customer to fix a particular challenge, at a particular point in time. Increasingly however RMS noticed that new customers were wanting to take multiple modules all at once – but without the pain of multiple integrations and the replication of ‘common-to-all’ data.  The launch of ‘Metro’ consolidates the RMS reputation of providing ‘best in class’ solutions enabling retailers to plan their own specific technology journey according to their business requirements.

Metro provides a clear illustration of key ‘application lines’, each having interoperability, removing the need for dozens of disparate applications. Metro's Foundation offers an extended interconnected and consolidated suite, with modules comprising communication excellence and engagement, people, workforce and learning management, process automation with workflow, contract and CRM, and print.

What this means in real terms is that Metro customers can recycle much of the same data used to plan and target store communications, tasks and activities into (for example) their workforce management or print toolsets – E.g. A store task to print some new Promotional signage can now be targeted directly to individuals responsible for this activity as and when they are scheduled to work. It also means that common data for each module is held securely in the same cloud instance being passed seamlessly between modules in a much more efficient and cost effective way.
