The brief

As MCM continues to expand its brand and further establish its presence, the focus on omnichannel performance brings retail stores closer to the digital world. Today there is an opportunity to deliver omnichannel from the online side of the business. To ensure this, MCM also focuses on retail productivity, including its store employees. MCM observed the opportunity to improve in-store managers’ productivity due to the manual assignments that were taking away from revenue-generating tasks. MCM reached out to AIOPSGROUP to analyze, recommend, and automate daily store reports available in real-time for the US market.

“AIOPSGROUP, a valantic company went the extra mile to ensure our automated reporting is an accurate reflection of our store performance. The reports embody the overall KPI’s and provide the means to effectively make business decisions.”

AIOPSGROUP took time to understand the company’s current manual process, and requirements to map out the deliverables for the MCM team. The implementation facilitated the automated process of individual store reports and accumulated the needed data to produce a report for the daily sales, as well as additional store performance KPI’s.
