According to a WTI Special Report, 60 percent of frontline retail workers are excited about the job opportunities tech creates, yet more than a third feel as though they need the right tools to do their job effectively. What does this mean for retailers? A wide playing field to equip an eager workforce with tools to improve communication and collaboration while driving task and workflow efficiency.

Microsoft Cloud for Retail offers Store operations that provides store associates with access to data and insights into their workflow. The solution enables retailers to:

  • Improve bottom line by driving efficiency of store operations.
  • Improve customer experience by connecting store associates with customers.
  • Give store associates tools for assistive selling.

Reference architecture for Store operations.

Store operations is built using Model Driven App (MDA) architecture, has a full development life cycle, is suitable for complex business scenarios that involve sophisticated data models, and also delivers seamless upgrades to customers. The app has a responsive UI with ability to create modern UI interactions such as swipe card actions using Power Apps Component Framework(PCF).
