Bentonville-based technology company Movista, which provides mobile-first workforce management tools to retailers, announced a partnership Thursday with Verizon, the nation’s largest wireless company.
According to a news release, the privately owned company’s leading product, MVRetail, allows companies to leverage smart devices and “the cloud” to provide real-time access and control to mobile workforces. It was created to address the fundamental challenges of managing retail focused field teams.
For retailers, manufacturers, service providers and auditors, the platform delivers access to task scheduling, selling, file sharing, payroll and tracking tools.
The better and more frequently devices can connect to the Internet the faster the system can perform. That’s why the Verizon partnership was formed.
“We are pleased to be helping our clients get more done in less time,” Movista co-founder and president Stan Zylowski said in the news release. “Encouraging them to leverage the nation’s largest 4G LTE network is an obvious choice. The important outcome is better service to our customers. That’s what matters.”
With MVRetail, companies are able to streamline retail operations with real-time data updates that improve accountability and on time, in-store execution. With photo-driven proof of performance, location analysis and mileage tracking, businesses benefit from reduced administrative work and real-time analysis of what’s happening in the field.
Users are able to see an immediate and long-lasting return on investment and have had fuel expenses drop by as much as 20 percent and labor costs lowered by up to 50 percent.
“Movista makes my problems their problems,” Aaron Sims, director of sales and merchandising for California-based chocolate company Ghirardelli, said in the release. “They’re constantly bringing me solutions that help us better manage the workflow and workforce through easy-to-use dashboards and databases.”
