The retail has its own communications challenges, and Quobis is facing some of them, particularly those that are related to workers that spend their time interacting directly with their clients around the shop.
Retail, a challenging scenario for corporate communications
Mobility, limited access to computers, short term jobs and high workers rotation, lack of time for worker onboarding process, increasing complexing of stock managing and sales (integration of e-commerce and local sales, stock distributed on different warehouses or showrooms), the need to communicate with other peers from different locations, clients or external workers frequently… All of these handicaps could be mitigated with effective real-time-communications tools embedded in mobile devices like tablets, smartphones or smartwatches.
