Retail IQ is our market-leading software, designed to help streamline time-consuming tasks, boost efficiency, and remove friction from your store operations. We love hearing from users about the positive impact of Retail IQ on their business, transforming how they operate and helping them achieve more each day.

Here’s just some of the ways Retail IQ is making a difference:

Excited, happy colleagues

“It’s miles apart from what we had before, don’t ever take it away from me”

When your store team is happy, it shows, and this is directly reflected in how well your in-store teams perform. Technology that supports task completion and doesn’t hold them back is key to creating a positive working environment, and that positivity doesn’t just boost team spirit; it elevates the in-store customer experience and makes life in retail more enjoyable for all.

Retail IQ has been described as a “game changer”, and that it has even “changed lives,” making store colleagues genuinely excited to come to work. Once your store team starts using Retail IQ, they won’t want to stop. Now that’s the kind of impact we’re proud to deliver!

Saving time, every day

“It’s super-fast and we never want to go back to the old way!”

Possibly the most significant benefit of Retail IQ is the simplification of tasks and how it speeds up processes. Labelling tasks are often among the most time-consuming responsibilities for store colleagues, from price labelling and promotions to price checks. Consider also the time spent on tasks such as shelf replenishment and receiving deliveries. Retail IQ brings it all together into one streamlined solution, saving teams up to 75% in time compared to traditional pen-and-paper methods.

As store colleagues face growing workloads and customers have higher expectations, Retail IQ eases the pressure, simplifying processes and empowering your team with the tools they need to take ownership of tasks.

Working smarter saves cost

“We can get on with other tasks.”

In today’s UK economy, rising employer costs mean careful labour cost management has never been more important. The minimum direct cost of employing a full-time staff member has risen to £26,630.93 – an increase of £2,018.93 per employee versus £24,612 in 2024.

With the cost of labour significantly higher, you want your team focused on activities that generate the best return for your retail business. Implementing Retail IQ to support your in-store operations enables tasks to be completed on the spot, making your entire workflow more efficient and allowing time to be spent on activities that generate a higher return.

When new employees join, you want them onboarded quickly and effectively. Retail IQ is quick to pick up, easy to use, and designed to help your team get up to speed fast, meaning that you’ll feel the benefit of new employees immediately.

Easily accessible information

Store teams need easy access to accurate information, right when they need it. With Retail IQ, that’s exactly what they get.

Arming store colleagues with real-time stock and product information at their fingertips creates a huge advantage when interacting with customers. Whether it’s answering pricing queries, sharing details of promotions, checking stock availability or inbound deliveries, providing fast, helpful and accurate answers improves service levels and enhances the customer experience

Your team is empowered to handle everything from their mobile device without the need to leave the shop floor. Now, instead of losing sales due to stock availability, with the right data in hand, store colleagues can quickly direct customers to nearby locations with stock.

Smoother Processes

“It completely changes the way we do things in store.”

Completing tasks efficiently and effectively is key to getting the most out of every day. That’s why it’s important to consider each step within your current workflow, how tasks are completed and where improvements can be made.

Retail IQ transforms processes, from stock counts to labelling tasks. With streamlined operations, your team can shift focus to what matters most: delivering excellent service that keeps customers coming back.

Upgrading your processes with Retail IQ helps store colleagues to become more productive, boosts motivation, and drives efficiency.
