DENVER, Jan. 13 -- StorePerform Technologies announced that Sears, Roebuck and Co. (NYSE:S) will deploy the StorePerform Workforce Productivity and Store Performance Management Solution within all its full- line stores. The deployment is part of an initiative designed to provide Sears` full-line store management with a single source for role-based communications, task management, reporting, and access to other key systems. Full rollout to Sears` approximately 870 full-line stores is on an aggressive schedule and planned to be complete within the first quarter of 2003.
"Our experience with StorePerform has been positive, for users at both our corporate office and in the field. It is an intuitive, easy-to-learn product, and our field offices and stores appreciate having all tasks arrive in one format, through one consistent channel," said Michael Buxton, Sears vice president of store operations for full-line stores.
At the corporate level, the StorePerform solution allows users to track compliance and know when there are problems -- this assists in the drive for consistent store-level execution and increased productivity. "We believe these capabilities will support our key strategic imperatives, including cost reduction and revenue enhancement," Buxton said.
"The software installation process has been smooth and timely, and the product is stable and fits well with our technology environment," added Steve Junk, Sears vice president of information technology.
More details on the rollout will be shared at a seminar during the National Retail Federation`s Big Show on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 at 4:30 pm in the Jacob Javits Center, New York City. The seminar is entitled "Performance Chain Management - Execute Superbly to Grow Profitably", and will feature Michael Buxton, Steve Junk and Srikant Vasan, as well as Greg Girard from AMR Research, Inc.
