Workplace Wearables
Retailers are piloting wearables to help associates optimize their time and improve customer experience. For example, the technology can help managers prioritize tasks by notifying employees that something in the store requires their attention. Manufacturers are also part of the wearable revolution, in part because the form suits an industry in which workers need to keep their hands free. But don’t expect to see a grocery stocker using a wearable to help you locate your favorite out-of-season veggie. Experts say wearable technology will need to be less expensive before it enjoys broader use. Source: CNBC
NUMBERS
Data Dump
The modern business is bursting at the seams with data, but making sense of it all can feel like the job of a master mathematician. Now, business intelligence reporting apps and dashboards, like Cyfe, BIME, and Looker bring all company data together, helping you focus on company objectives and react quickly to opportunities. Best of all, these tools can be used by anyone, meaning you don’t need an IT team — or even have to be technically savvy — to help you make sense of all that data. Source: Small Business Trends
