The Challenge: Managing Facilities Across Borders and Locations

Running multiple retail locations internationally comes with unique operational challenges:

  • Monitoring the state of physical facilities in real-time
  • Ensuring maintenance issues are addressed promptly
  • Coordinating staff across different time zones
  • Turning on-site observations into actionable reports

Our client approached us with a clear goal: “We need a system that allows us to track and manage all our facilities from a central place, efficiently and reliably.”

The Solution: A Tailor-Made Software System

At Ventral Group, we don’t just code solutions — we design software tailored to your business challenges.

Step 1: Discovery Workshop

We conducted a workshop with key stakeholders to understand the challenges of their retail business. This allowed us to identify critical pain points, operational bottlenecks, and desired outcomes.

Step 2: On-Site Insights

We visited two key retail locations to observe first-hand how daily operations, maintenance issues, and staff workflows affected the overall business. Understanding the real-world environment was crucial to designing a practical solution.

Step 3: Custom Software Development

We developed a user-friendly system that streamlines facility management:

  • Simple checklists for on-site staff to follow every day
  • Automatic generation of managerial reports summarizing the state of each location
  • Task assignment system: issues detected on site are immediately assigned to the responsible staff member
  • Dashboard views for real-time monitoring of all facilities, regardless of location

The Results: Real-Time, Efficient Facility Management

The impact was immediate and transformative:

  • Managers in New York can see facility issues in Nebraska in real-time
  • Staff are automatically notified of tasks, reducing delays and missed maintenance
  • Reports and insights are generated automatically, saving hours of manual work
  • Operations across international locations became more efficient, transparent, and reliable

“Super intuitive. We can now see from New York when a light bulb in Nebraska needs changing — and even better, a person who needs to fix it is automatically assigned. It just made managing facilities cross-country so much easier.”

Why Tailor-Made Tech Solutions Work for Retail

Off-the-shelf software often doesn’t fully capture the complexity of retail operations.

Custom solutions offer:

  • Workflow optimization tailored to your specific business processes
  • Scalable systems that grow with your business
  • Automated reporting and task management for better operational oversight
  • User-friendly interfaces that staff actually use

By building software that fits the business, not the other way around, retail companies can save time, reduce errors, and improve operational efficiency.
