Streamlined project management features promise to save time and money.

New task-management capabilities are now part of Zenput’s mobile operations management technology and the focus is on helping retailers, franchise owners, restaurants and consumer packaged goods companies provide customers and clients with a more robust and consistent store and shopping experience.

Users can now automatically assign tasks to employees and reduce time on in-store campaign operations with a streamlined project management process. This will save both time and labor, claims Zenput.

"We’ve tested several different solutions and apps for in-store operations, but never before did we have the ability to automatically follow up on incomplete projects until now," said Brian Veasman, director of compliance for MAPCO Express, in a company announcement. "With Zenput’s new task-management functionality, we can track campaign completion across hundreds of locations and auto-generate tasks for individual district managers or groups of store employees to complete any unfinished work or address areas that need further attention."

Using the mobile app, district and store managers can complete tasks by sending photos of finished displays or promotions and automatically assign follow-up tasks to individuals or groups for late or incomplete activity.

"Our mobile-first platform was designed for employees that do most of their work away from a desk, so adding task assignments and workforce project management was the next logical step to enhance the technology for our customers in retail, restaurant and CPG industries," said Vladik Rikhter, CEO and co-founder of Zenput. "With a few easy taps, regional managers can verify completed projects or automatically assign follow-up activity for exceptions."
