Internal staff communication system
Wyzwanie
The supermarket chain faced the problem of inefficient communication between employees in the sales hall. So far, the service has communicated, shouting at the store, which was negatively perceived by customers and reduced shopping comfort. The customer needed a solution that Improve communication and decision-making staff, and at the same time will create a friendlier atmosphere for buyers.
Rozwiązanie
Implemented digital internal communication system based on wireless headsets (model Quail Pro 12). Each employee of the store is equipped with a lightweight headset that allows discreet communication with the rest of the staff in real time. The solution allows you to immediately communicate information and consult decisions without the need to approach each other or call the entire store. The system works exclusively for voice communication within the team, so employees can coordinate tasks without disturbing the peace of customers. The platform is prepared for future integration with other tools — in the next stages it will be possible, for example, to send messages from the store management system (Xaris) directly to the headphones.
Efekty biznesowe
The implementation brought an immediate improvement in the atmosphere and efficiency of work in the store. Eliminated unnecessary noise — staff can communicate quietly through headsets, which has had a positive impact on the customer's shopping experience (customers do not witness loud conversations between employees). Operational decisions are made faster because employees can immediately get the information or support they need from colleagues. Thanks to more efficient communication, staff spend more time on customer service and attention to the display of goods, which translates into a better quality of service and potentially higher sales. In addition, the store has acquired a modern image — quiet, disciplined work environment raises the rating of professionalism in the eyes of buyers.
Technologie
They have been applied Quail Pro 12 Wireless Headsets operating in a closed communication network of the store. The system does not require cable infrastructure — the headphones connect via a secure radio protocol to a central base station in the back room. The solution is scalable and mobile, which means it can be easily moved or expanded to other locations. In the future, it is planned to integrate with the store management platform, so that e.g. automatic alerts (opening of a new cash register, request for support in the department) were transmitted directly to the staff on headphones.

Oszczędności
Streamline communication saved valuable time — Employees spend less time looking for colleagues or providing information personally, which allows them to serve more customers per day. The client also noted labor cost savings: thanks to better organization, the need to hire additional employees during high traffic seasons has been reduced (the communication system effectively “replaced” the additional auxiliary time). In terms of quality, the solution reduces the burden on management (fewer emergencies to extinguish) and eliminates the potential costs of losing customers discouraged by the noisy atmosphere.
