Benefits
Bridge the gap between head office and frontline employees
Keep staff connected: Igloo’s mobile app gives employees on-the-spot access to the communication and collaboration tools they need — which is vital in an environment where access to computers is limited.
Address turnover: Churn rates are high in retail. But with Igloo’s community-building tools, you can align people around a common vision from day one, reduce the time to onboard, and keep the workers who set you apart.
Build bridges from one store to the next: Now, employees in dispersed store locations can connect with each other — and with the company — through Igloo’s easy-to-use communication tools and channels.
Share best practices and lessons learned: With a central knowledge base, everyone wins. Streamline everything: from the latest customer service tips and tricks to everyday tasks like booking time off or completing an expense claim.
