Mobile phones, particularly smartphones, have become our constant companions. We use them for nearly everything – sending an SMS or email, looking up an address and, occasionally, making an actual phone call…we would be lost without them! A study from the UK found that the average person spends in total one day every week on their smartphone. It’s even more for the younger generation (ages 15-24), who tend to spend four hours a day on their smartphones (The Telegraph, 2018).
And of course, there are apps. In 2017, mobile apps contributed to nearly half of the global internet traffic (The Manifest, 2018) and just as with the number of smartphone users, the usage of apps is showing no signs of slowing down.
With the number of mobile phones users in the world expecting to nearly hit the 5 billion mark in 2019 (Statistia, 2019) and people easily being able to adopt new apps, it’s a no brainer to take advantage of it – especially when it comes to scheduling.
Generally speaking, mobile apps can significantly lessen the time users take to initiate and perform an action. And in retail, there is always a need for more time.
With a mobile retail app that both store managers and sales assistants can use, communication between everyone is increased with the sharing of the same data and space to give replies. Scheduling apps mean you no longer have to spend hours trying to coordinate everyone’s schedules, allowing for more time to be spent helping customers in your store.
With the SameSystem Check-in App, your staff will have the ability to coordinate absence requests, find staff to fill open shifts, keep track of time registrations alongside an easy to read and accessible schedule with push notifications ensuring that nothing is missed.
Look us up in the App Store or Google Play – available for both iOS and Android.
