Read moreThe daily life of a retail operations manager is an extremely busy one. They’re responsible for the performance of their stores or shopping centers while ensuring a positive customer experience plus compliance with trading standards legislation and health & safety requirements. They often have to manage multiple locations and teams, and they can’t be everywhere at once.
Implementing property management software allows your operations managers to work more efficiently. By tracking everything that they see while visiting a store or unit using their mobile device, they no longer have to deal with follow-up paperwork or documentation. They can also access high-level statistics from each unit that tell them how many issues were reported, dealt with and closed, making it easier to report to regional managers. These insights can also help them to assign resources for the best results.
On the shop floor, it’s also easier for store managers to report issues and arrange for repairs, while regular preventative maintenance means that there are fewer breakdowns or damaged elements in your stores. All of those features help to reduce downtime and maximize the performance of your retail space.
When it comes to picking the best property maintenance software, you need to consider how your team is structured. Are individual store managers responsible for maintenance or do you have one expert who inspects all your units? Do you use a trusted team of external vendors for repairs? Do you want your maintenance software to offer you other functions and features, such as inspections or health & safety checklists? Once you have an idea of the features you need, take a look at the options on the market. Make a shortlist of candidates and sign up for free trials.
If possible, ask teams in your different units to try potential software and give you their feedback. Make sure you try any apps on different kinds of devices, to make sure that they work well on all operating systems and on older phones and tablets.
All members of a retail team can access and use PlanRadar, but it will be up to you to decide who can add and assign tasks and tickets. If you just need your shop teams to fill in simple reports and respond to tickets, then you can give them access via free “subcontractor” accounts. If you need them to create tickets, then they’ll need a license. However, you can customize the permissions of each role to match the positions in your team and the amount of information each of them needs access to.
PlanRadar isn’t just used for property and facilities management – we’re also used by the construction industry to track, manage and document their projects. That makes our platform the ideal choice when collaborating with shopfitters. Upload floorplans and designs into the platform and add comments to locations on the plan to collaborate with designers and installers. Use PlanRadar to log any snags that you find during site inspections or after the project is handed over and to track their resolution by your contractor.
Yes. Although PlanRadar is designed to work with floorplans or 3D models, you can also use it without adding visuals. This has its downsides – you won’t be able to pin an issue directly to its location – but you can still create tickets with photos and videos, complete checklists and generate reports without plan locations.
PlanRadar can be used to manage shopping centers and retail parks as well as individual retail units. That being said, the needs of a retail park and shopping center are different from those of single stores, and that’s why our in-house experts are on-hand to show you how to best set up PlanRadar for your specific business needs.
PlanRadar can be used by businesses of all sizes. For small retail businesses, our basic plan might be ideal, as it provides a single license and the ability to use up to 10 floorplans, which should be plenty for managing one or two retail units. PlanRadar is also flexible and can be used for maintenance, asset tracking, health & safety, fire safety and any other kind of compliance.
