Searching for unity and harmony? Consumers only need to look as far as the best omnichannel brands. That’s because retailers with a digital and physical footprint are more focused than ever on building a cohesive experience at every touchpoint. That’s good news for shoppers. But it’s challenging for retailers.
Illuminated signage represents your brand as far as the eye can see…so long as it’s lit. But we’ve all come across the opposite. Signs with flickering lights, one or two dark letters, or those experiencing a complete outage. It immediately detracts from your brand. And, in some cases, dark letters may even send the wrong message. Routine night audits can be expensive, however.

Retail, restaurant and convenience store Facilities Managers have long grappled with the question of hiring Self-Performing vs. Sub-Contracting property service providers. Topco, an Indirect Spend Solutions provider says the many retailers prefer the straightforward relationship of using self-performers stating, “Simply put, self-performing suppliers have more skin in the game. It is their name on the side of the service truck that pulls into your store, and when a vendor goes above and beyond or makes a critical error, reaching the responsible party is easy.”
iVueit, an Ohio-based startup seeking to revolutionize the way commercial contractors, service aggregators, and facilities management verify the status of retail, restaurant, hotel, bank and convenience store chain locations under management, has announced that its platform has reached a major milestone, photographing over 25,000 locations across 50 US states.
