Astra : Retail Enterprise Performance Management
 
Do you know ?
 
How do promotions managers know which stores and regions to deploy promotions for maximum returns?
How do merchandisers assess which clusters are the most effective for rolling out new products?
How do store operations managers define a best performing store? How do they translate the best performer's performance to underperformers?
How do planning managers tangibly use learnings from past initiatives?
 
According to Dr. David P Norton, CEO of Balanced Scorecard Collaborative, 85% of organisations do not have a method to monitor strategy. While the planning process in itself is robust, executive leadership does not have a tool to facilitate the change that is called for within the organisation, to make the plan effective.

Scorecarding as a concept to capture strategies have been in vogue for over a decade. But most deployments of scorecarding infrastructure have degenerated to the realm of a set of dials and graphs, with little or no accent of how line-of-business managers will actually receive strategic intent, and align their execution initiatives with corporate need. What is required is a method that relates planning data with transaction data.

Astra leverages the power of scorecarding, benchmarking, comparisons, and root cause analysis to align action at store operations to organisational strategy and initiatives.

With Astra you now have a systematic approach to deploying, communication, and effectively executing strategic plans. Astra provides you with a method and a tool to effectively manage the execution of initiative. You can track the initiative as a whole using alerts at the scorecard level, and set exception-based reports at the metric level.

 
Astra can be quickly implemented to:
 
Help executive team to tangibly articulate initiatives in the form of scorecards
Deploy initiatives downwards and across store operations and allied functions
Use root-cause analysis for problem diagnostics
Capture and disseminate best practices across store operations and store-centric initiatives
Use trends, traffic lights, and ranking to isolate underperformers and track their 'progress cards'
 
Leading edge organisations like McDonald's are using Astra to drive profitable growth by structuring the intelligence that store operations data possesses.
