Ignite by ECRS

The ECRS Retail Success Conference

Success Workshop Day

What is Success Workshop Day?

Held on the first day of the Ignite 2019 Retail Success Conference, Success Workshop Day was created for future-focused retailers who strive to become industry leaders. Participants will dive deep into specific areas of their enterprise they seek to improve and share ideas with industry colleagues.

These share-group-style workshops provide problem solving and idea generation through consultation and collaboration. Each workshop session is comprised of a small group of retailers that share common passions and face similar challenges. Success Workshop Day is limited to 40 attendees.

A Success Navigator Consultant or CATAPULT® Expert will facilitate each workshop and offer guidance and ideas to help resolve pressing challenges and operational obstacles. Through personalized consulting, communication with industry colleagues, and open exchange of ideas, these workshops build a foundation that allows participants to gain even more value out of the Ignite conference experience.

How is it different from year’s past?

Ignite 2019 Success Workshop Day will include an element of hands-on training like never before. ECRS will provide all Success Workshop attendees with CATAPULT sandbox environments which you can connect to with your own Windows, Mac, iOS, Android or Chromebook laptop or tablet, giving you access to the latest version of CATAPULT right in the workshops.

*Please Note: Attendees are also welcome to access their own environments securely from Success Workshop Day. Only use encrypted, multi-factor authenticated methods to access production environments, such as digital® VPN Concentrator with Google Authenticator or WatchGuard® Firebox with AuthPoint MFA. For security reasons, ECRS strongly advises merchants not to copy production databases onto laptop computers or removable storage for access at the conference. Production databases potentially contain payment processing configuration data, personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), and other confidential data. Possession of these databases is inherently risky. ECRS is not responsible for the security of and computers, data, or information systems possessed or used by merchants in transit to, during, or in transit from the Ignite 2019 conference.

Workshop Session Descriptions

Success Workshop Day participants will be divided into three groups, all of which will attend three sessions outlined below:

Dynamic Promotions, LoyaltyBot, and Campaign Manager

The mission: drive up your sales and keep your customers coming back. The method: mastering this mighty trifecta of CATAPULT tools. In this workshop, prepare to build multiple Dynamic Promotions utilizing different LoyaltyBot triggers, and dig deep into CATAPULT’s new-and-improved Campaign Manager.

Perpetual Inventory

Perpetual inventory is no longer a pipedream—it’s a functional pipeline. In this workshop you’ll learn the steps needed to take your inventory to the next level. Keep products flowing from truck, to shelf, to customer cart without ever missing a beat. Say sayonara to out-of-stock situations and overstock scenarios too. Retailers who have mastered perpetual inventory could raise their gross margin by as much as 3%.

Reporting

You need easily-accessible, detailed, accurate data to thrive in 21st Century retail. Learn how Briefcase, Dash, and CATAPULT’s 250+ reports can give you 360 insight into your enterprise. In this workshop you’ll learn how to use these robust tools to their maximum potential, how to navigate their features, and how to successfully execute using the business intelligence they provide.

Creating Labels with Jaspersoft

Unlock the maximum marketing value on your products with the power of a single label. This session will show you the value and importance of designing labels to satisfy the customer and positively impact the consumer experience, resulting in an increase in sales. Learn how to utilize advanced formulas, take a look at what is in the ECRS development roadmap, and review how to customize everything from signs to sheet labels using fonts, colors, images, and everything in between.
