Google Drive Launches today !
Today in the Australian, an article appeared on Oroton.
From our perspective the most important factor of this article is that the live data feed being delivered from their 60 stores is pivotal in running their business.
With CI Web Reports, this evolves from a twice daily feed to an instant feed from all stores in a graphic format. To use CI Web Reports, current version CI is required, and the rewards are:
• Live sales data
• Marketing applications
• Geolocation database mapping
• Graphic reporting
• Options to customise your most frequent reports.
If you are not yet using CI Web Reports, which is free to RetailCare support customers, then you’re could be missing out on a game changing dataset.
Contact us today, to learn how to include CIWebReport.com is your business intelligence mix.

I have been watching retailers launching their fancy new websites in the last couple of weeks with big announcements of how great their website is and how excited the retailers are about them. The interesting fact is that most people finding out about these sites are on their Facebook page on their mobile phones. Well as you can guess they touch the link with their finger and find very quickly the website has not been designed mobile ready …so that retailer has just lost a potential customer and it is going to be hard to get that customer back on their site. I would hate to think how much these retailers are spending on these sites !
What a disspointment I say.
So of course I have to tell you how RetailCare builds all its sites with mobile readiness always in mind … see example http://www.bariano.com.au – check it on an Apple iPad or an Apple iPhone, or even a Android phone.
