RETAIL CROSS SELLING SOLUTION

A very large entertainment conglomerate which owned several popular venues offering various multi faceted entertainment avenues like Multiplexes (Cinema), Ice Rinks, Comprehensive facilities exclusively for Children’s entertainment, Aquariums and Gaming Centres wanted to integrate their offerings on one single web based interface to enable consolidation of offerings and create an awareness of the large spectrum of services offered to all their discerning customers.
A single point of information and enablement also helped cross sell opportunities across the spectrum of services, creation of ‘value packages’ which will provide customers benefits by way of aggregation of various services. Thus the conglomerate could sell more business and service more customers, and the customers by aggregating their requirements could access services to their choice of entertainment at concessional / discounted rates.
The Tickets were being sold separately at the venue by the Company and the customers had to procure tickets from each facility. Thus the customers could not be classified and given discounts based on Category and usage. Besides, idle inventory could not be promoted and it remained unsold and unutilized.
Arowana’s Solution was a web based interface, which could be accessed by the customer online or through their mobile. The system provided a single source of information on all facilities with availability. The booking system could reserve time slots and provide value packages which were built around optimizing the Company’s overall offerings with a view to maximize the earnings and also provide ‘best in class’ amenities to the customer.

MYSTERY SHOPPER MANAGEMENT

Mystery Shoppers Management is a solution developed by Arowana for one of the world’s leading real estate company. This Real Estate Company invests and develops properties, provides property management services and engages in hospitality services.
This Real Estate Company which is also a Master developer, had developed Malls which were rented out to boutique outfits. With time the shop owners started facing maintenance issues which were reported to the Developer. The Developer then felt the need to develop a system which will manage all customer concerns thereby improving customer (shopper) satisfaction.

Arowana was called on to conduct a study, and develop a tracking system that will help the developer in effectively addressing all reported issues in a time bound manner. The Developers appointed staff would pose as shoppers (mystery shoppers) who would look out for possible issues with a view to rectify the situation in its nascent stage. They also would log in issues and see to it that the issues were getting rectified. This also helped the shoppers experience an ambience that would make them return to the mall repeatedly.
These shopping malls were truly world class, where even celebrities come to shop. The outlets were unique, globally well known brands which needed to maintain a certain class and reputation when it came to customer experience.
The Solution termed as “Mystery Shopper Management” system provided a mechanism for organizing, maintaining, and tracking the resolution of issues that cannot be resolved at the individual level at the retailers level. The approach consists of issue control mechanisms and a well-defined process that helps in identifying, addressing, and prioritizing issues in centralized and secure manner.
  • Online Shopper Registration and profile management.
  • Create/ Amend Observations (Issues)
  • Facility for Admin to moderate submitted observations
  • Workflow functionality to channelize the observation between Agent (Shopper), Moderators and Department (Resolution owner)
  • Resolution Tracking and Reporting.

Many Organizations require their employees to wear uniforms. For example in the Airline Industry there are uniforms for Cockpit Crew, Cabin Crew and Ground staff.
UMS is a web based application, which enables employees to directly connect with the uniform store. UMS also enables the Uniform store to directly service all requests from the employees. Based on eligibility and cadre, the Uniform store manages the issue, Re-ordering, Receiving, storing and distribution of uniforms for all relevant users across different departments.
Uniform Management System is an interface between user and the store manager, where the user places order online and the store manager reviews the orders and actions the request without delay. The module keeps track of every activity related to the preferred lifecycle of a uniform for a particular employee, from the ordering of a new set to resizing and replacement in case of damage or expiry of the uniform.
