Retail - ATG

The Challenge

Provide an easy to use solution that enables store owners & managers to define and update targets, and sales staff to readily progress and track gross profit targets, based on regularly managed and tracked incentives.

Update and simplify an Excel® spread sheet based staff incentive solution that was developed for a single store into a sophisticated commercial solution that could be sold to the wider Telstra® base.

Use Excel® and web based content to deliver data entry screens, and provide data and reports from different applications.

The solution

Sharperlight and ATG systems provide an easy to use interface that allows store owners & managers to allocate monthly, weekly or fortnightly targets across products and employees, whilst ensuring that store targets are evenly allocated.

Implementation

The entire ATG solution is written using the Sharperlight application framework. From the extraction and population of data from the underlying data sources into the ATG warehouse, through to the Dashboard reporting, and the presentation and the administration of the user interfaces.

Scenario

How the Sharperlight framework enabled the privately owned stores of this industry leader to easily, quickly and accurately report on, and drill into, information from multiple data sources. Resulting in improved business processes, improved data transparency for staff and management, improved operational efficiency and security, and reduced manual rework.

Business Situation

Owners and managers of the T-Life shops struggled to gather the required information they needed to determine, allocate and report budgets and sales in a timely fashion, due to lengthy, manual and complicated internal processes.
