Retail task management software empowers managers of retail stores and franchises to assign tasks to their workforce based off of store data and receive reports of completed tasks. This type of software simplifies communication between district and franchise managers and their employees by allowing them to create relevant tasks and send them to various store managers. Store managers can then adjust their inventory, shelving, or workforce accordingly and easily report when a task has been completed. By streamlining the communication process, managers can use store data to create actionable tasks and then see how the completion of those tasks affects future data. Retail task management software is similar to a task management tool, but built specifically to facilitate team collaboration among head offices and multiple retail locations. These tools may integrate with retail management systems and workforce management software tools.
To qualify for inclusion in the retail task management category, a product must:
Allow tasks to be assigned to various users with details and due dates
Facilitate communication between the head office, district managers, and store managers
Provide reporting on completed tasks
