The Intelligent Application of Technology™

There is no better tag line or caption for this page on retail technology other than that coined by our alliance partner T4G. The Intelligent Application of Technology is a trademark of T4G and is used with a sincere respect for their capabilities and excellent work.

Technology has been the great enabler of business and especially retail enterprise. From the earlier days of UPC scanning we have soared to where we can capture everything in real time instantaneously. We are now wireless, and seamless, and cashless, and everythingless - and can get any information we want and need. Often however, many enterprises experience a less desirable 'less' and 'ness,' - that of mindlessness.

Retail technology has gone beyond being the enabler. It is so far 'out there' that for many organizations much of the time, it is beyond the internal capability of the enterprise to employ it mindfully. 'Mindfulness' or 'The Intelligent Application of Technology' takes the mindboggling amount of data, translating and transforming it to information, then synthesizing and transmogrifying it to intelligence. And after all of the investment and effort intelligence is quite useless unless it is converted to superior performance and competitive advantage.

Store Tech
Store Tech
offers the very best traffic counter hardware. They have also gone beyond and have developed software applications that integrate POS sales data, traffic counts and labour details to provide a breakthrough in store performance management. We can now measure traffic counts and sales by hour (or minute), sales and labour productivity by hour (or minute), average sale by associate, units per transaction, and so on. The data, translated into information is superb, and it is almost intuitively obvious as to the actions that can lead to increasing sales and productivity. It is the very best hardware and software application out there.

We are very interested in applying Store Tech's very best in-store technology with the very best High Performance Retail practices to achieve dramatic improvements in conversion rates, units per transaction, average sale and labour productivity - all driving increased sales and profitability - without any increase in customer traffic! (Wow!)
