Zipline is the operations platform that powers Grocery’s most complex work.
Zipline understands the unique pressures grocers are facing today and ensures that everyone in the field has the information, context and tools needed to be successful in their particular roles. By giving employees the information they need to execute to brand standards, Zipline streamlines a frontline employee’s daily work and brings them closer to their company’s vision, driving efficiency and execution across all locations.
With so many messages coming from different HQ teams – and so many different places to look – it’s difficult to understand and prioritize what needs to get done. With Zipline’s intuitive dashboard, store leaders can understand exactly what’s on their team’s plate for the busy day ahead. They see a personalized, streamlined view of outstanding tasks, top priority messages from HQ, and events happening today, all at a glance.
No access to the back office? No problem. Part-time associates and frontline workers can review messages from Store Managers or HQ – and even watch videos – right from the sales floor using their mobile device or store tablets. They can take surveys to test their knowledge or share real-time feedback with District Managers to let them know what they’re seeing on the floor. When they’re not with customers, they can knock off tasks on the day sheet.
Whether they’re on the road, in a store, or working from the office, District Managers always have access to real-time mobile-friendly reporting that shows exactly how their stores are tracking on recent tasks. When it’s time to give feedback, sending a message to their stores in Zipline is as easy and intuitive as sending a text or email.
Balancing message requests from multiple departments, building lengthy emails, and copy-pasting information into clunky systems is a thankless job (and it’s getting crazier). With Zipline, content creators spend less time fighting formatting and wrangling distribution lists and more time producing meaningful work. Thanks to Zipline’s auto-magical publishing interface, what used to take multiple hours now takes as little as one click.
Give your field teams a tool that empowers them to do their most efficient (and satisfying) work, safely. With Zipline, HR professionals can ensure that all employees, regardless of location or role, are given the information they need to be in compliance with critical policies and feel more connected to the brand.
In grocery, innovation can’t just exist inside the minds of the folks in the C-suite. Big, revenue-driving ideas only matter if they’re correctly executed in the stores – and in today’s world only 29% of direction sent from HQ to stores is executed correctly. Zipline closes that gap – bringing execution to above 90% – so your executives feel confident that every employee, down to the part-time associate, understands how to bring the company vision to life.
