Evoco Workspace for Retail Construction

Open on time. Because if you're not open, you're not making money.

Stock on the shelves, lines at the till, and opening-week sales: that's the future you're dreaming of. But what you're dealing with today are half-finished ceilings and an entire floor that was built from out of date plans.

We don't have to tell you that retail is a competitive industry. You have to be better, faster, and smarter. You have to create the most appeal for customers, and lure franchisees. And even if your stores are already built, your work isn't done - remodeling hundreds or thousands of existing locations, whether to support brand consistency or simply to keep up to date, can hit your bottom line just as hard as a project that starts from the ground up. Whatever the cause, if your locations aren't selling product, you aren't making money.

The high-speed struggle to get to market is made harder when you're fighting aggressive timelines that get more punishing by the year. Racing against the clock while trying to unite a team that's spread across the country or around the world, while juggling mountains of paper and wasting time on manual processes, well - it just doesn't work any more.

You need an edge. If you don't get it, your competitors will.

Evoco Workspace is an online program and project management software solution that allows retail leaders to automate critical workflows from concept and prototype design, through to bid and project completion tasks... all while sharing vital project information across entire teams. Here's how:

Managing by exception - you can get overwhelmed if you try and keep track of every tidbit of data on every single project. So instead, set personalized alerts and notifications to let you know if plans change or a project is going off the rails - whether through a missed deadline, a cost overrun, or standards noncompliance. By integrating with financial applications, you can see all key project details at a glance.
Facilitating online collaboration - every step in the process generates paper, and projects can't move forward if plans sit on desks. Keep things moving by bringing documents online and automating alerts and notifications. Owners, developers, franchise owners, GCs, architects, and designers can all access shared files and communicate in real time.
Automating bid management - to choose GCs and suppliers effectively, you have to solicit dozens, if not hundreds of bids, managing a complex web of e-mail, phone and fax communications. Manually processing all this bidding information is slow, cumbersome, costly, and error prone. Evoco Workspace Bid Manager automates the process from bid package through bid comparison.

Maintaining historical data - the system automatically creates an archive of versioned documents and an audit trail of user actions in the system, enforcing accountability and making sure the latest and greatest documents are the one's everyone is using.

Using Evoco Workspace to orchestrate your retail build program leads to reduced errors and less rework, saving time and money, streamlined processes result in faster project delivery, and reduced printing and distribution costs.

Get Workspace working for you, and your next grand opening could be sooner than you think!
