Archibus in the Retail Sector – A Summary

Archibus in Retail – A reminder: it’s not just about the Maintenance Management!

Over the last few weeks we have shown how the combination of Archibus software, The expertise of our business partners, and our clients have produced compelling business solutions in the retail sector.

The role played by Archibus business partners is the key to enabling clients to increase their revenue and reduce costs, whilst reducing business risks. Retail is a challenging and highly competitive environment.

• The ability to benchmark retail outlets for revenue, costs, or other performance indicators using area comparisons as a metric e.g. cost per square metre
• The ability to maximise facilities up time and availability, e.g., supporting footfall and transaction numbers.
• The ability to look at historical data and analysis of how attractive or suitable retail facilities may be to help boost customer retention, dwell time and satisfaction.
• The ability to better analyse asset use, costs and time to cash, i.e., Increasing revenue and reducing costs.
• The ability to manage business risks inherent in the complexity of the supply chain and performance management.

How Do Our Partners Make a difference?

But is the approach taken by our partners that makes the difference. Our partners leverage business and market knowledge and combine this with state-of-the-art technology to provide real value for their clients. The story of the Archibus partner ecosystem is one of building close relationships with clients and bringing a high level of innovation to bear. 

Many Archibus clients have used the software and associated technologies from many years, sometimes decades, supported by the same partner throughout.

What Have We Shown In This Series?

In our blog series we have seen how Reminet created processes and matched these with technology to meet specific objectives for their clients by managing leases, and service charges to maximise revenue.

We have seen how Synthesis3 used their expertise to support processes that were already defined but proved difficult to put into action. As a result their clients have removed complexity from operating a facilities management supply chain.

Finally we have seen how the Archibus Solution Center in Romania has pushed the envelope buy applying technology outside the FM bubble in order to support energy management strategies and even product supply chains.

Archibus is sold only through the partner network. This “Global Network of Local Experts” has delivered success for clients consistently. They have combined global best practices with a response to local needs, languages, business practices and norms. What’s more, they have helped clients navigate changes in technology and cope with a dynamic corporate landscape for many years, creating solid business relationships in the process.

We will follow up this blog series with a live webinar that will give you the opportunity to find out more about the impact that our partners have had on the retail marketplace. You will be able to put faces to names and ask questions of these industry experts. Watch this space for our webinar announcement!
