Technology Built for\u202fRemote Work<\/h2>\n

For\u202fgenerations, the heart of every retail business\u202fwas\u202fthe cash register and\u202fthe\u202finventory\u202fledger. Those tools were consolidated\u202fand automated when computerized point of sale systems\u00a0<\/span>were<\/span>\u00a0developed. Retail technology\u202f<\/span>today\u00a0<\/span>extends\u202ffar beyond\u202fthe checkout stand\u202fand\u202fthe\u202fwarehouse\u202for\u202freceiving dock.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A modern retail platform touches all business processes including ordering\u202fand\u202finventory, customer outreach and management, employee scheduling, accounting,\u202fand digital marketing and sales.\u202fAnd access to those platforms is available through remote business management applications.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cIt\u2019s a tool that allows business owners to manage their own network from anywhere they can get an internet connection,\u201d said CJ June, Managed Services director at Paladin Data Corporation, a leading retail technology provider. \u201cThey are able to remote into the server computer and have full control of it just as if they were sitting in the office. Anything they could do at the computer they can do from home or\u00a0<\/span>wherever<\/span>\u00a0they log in from.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In retail, downtime cuts directly into profits. Not only are sales lost, but the payroll of employees who are standing around unable to work compounds those losses.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Right Digital Tools for the Job\u202f\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

As the retail landscape\u202fcontinues to evolve,\u202fdigital technologies have become increasingly important.\u202fStatistics show that retail sales in 2018 totaled $3.7 trillion across all categories, and\u202f92%\u202fof those sales were influenced by\u202fdigital factors such as online marketplaces,\u202fdigital advertising and marketing, and mobile searches.\u202fThis\u202ftrend\u202findicates\u202fthat\u202fdigitally influenced purchases are here to stay.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why having\u202f<\/span>powerful in-store tools combined with\u202f<\/span>a strong digital business presence is so important and having remote access to those tools is more essential than ever. Modern retail technology with remote business management access provides a single touchpoint to control all aspects of a store.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The World is Your Office<\/h2>\n

Imagine being on vacation halfway around the world whe<\/span>n<\/span>\u00a0your store runs into issues an assistant manager can<\/span>\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0resolve. With remote business management software, an owner can log into the store\u2019s server and run the show just like they were in the back office.\u00a0<\/span>Vacation saved! The remote desktop\u00a0<\/span>can do anything the retail platform allows<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Business today is rarely a 9 to 5 job done at a single location. Even brick-and-mortar stores operate web stores that record sales 24\/7. And often employees or contractors work from home or their own offices. Remote business management software allows store owners or managers to keep track of what\u2019s happening round the clock.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Remote business management allows owners to include or limit who has access to the network. That means off-site staff can work without being at the store. This flexibility also helps businesses save money on expenses such as travel time for employees or contractors. Instead of having business platform providers or technicians visit to troubleshoot a problem, they can monitor the network or work to solve many issues without leaving their desktops.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
