Unlock New Sales Opportunities in Retail with Seamless Mobile Connectivity

The Challenge

In today's fast-paced retail environment, missing a customer enquiry or a critical internal communication can lead to lost sales and diminished customer satisfaction. Retail staff often juggle multiple communication channels – store landlines, personal mobiles, and various apps – creating fragmentation and inefficiency when every second counts for connecting with customers.

Business Impact

Lost Sales Opportunities

When customers can't easily reach sales associates or when internal teams struggle to co-ordinate, potential sales are missed. A customer calling the store might be put on hold, or an in-store associate might be unable to get quick information from a colleague in the stockroom, leading to abandonment.

Poor Customer Experience

Fragmented communication results in slower response times, repeat explanations, and a generally disjointed experience for the customer. This can damage brand loyalty and deter repeat business, especially in a competitive market where customer experience is paramount.

Operational Inefficiencies

Retail staff waste valuable time navigating disparate communication tools, trying to find the right person or information. This diverts focus from core sales activities and reduces overall productivity, affecting everything from inventory management to customer assistance.

How Tango Extend Solves This

Tango Extend unifies all retail communications onto a single, secure platform, integrating mobile service directly with existing enterprise platforms like Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex Calling. This ensures that every call, message, and interaction is captured, managed, and routed efficiently, empowering retail staff to be more responsive and effective.

• Unified Communications — Consolidate all staff communications (calls, chats) onto a single mobile device, regardless of location, ensuring seamless connectivity between sales floor, back office, and management.
• Direct Mobile Dialling — Customers can reach specific departments or even individual staff members directly on their business mobile number, improving accessibility and reducing call transfers.
• Presence Awareness — Staff can see the availability of colleagues, enabling quick internal communication to answer customer queries or co-ordinate tasks more efficiently, vital for cross-departmental collaboration.

Use Case

A customer calls a retail store looking for a specific product. Instead of the call going to a generic landline and getting transferred multiple times, it rings on the business mobile of an available sales associate who can directly answer the query, check stock, or even initiate a virtual shopping assistant call. If the associate needs to confirm details with a colleague in the back office, they can quickly use their unified communication app to check their availability and make an instant call. This seamless interaction leads to a quick resolution, a satisfied customer, and a completed sale.
