How to establish, in-house develop, and deploy Robo Claw in major retail companies
Introduces store user training, headquarters administrator training, EC/CRM administrator training, guidelines, Skill templates, standard Tool Policy, deployment across multiple stores and brands, standard permissions, CoE control, and a company-wide deployment roadmap.
Rather than expanding to all stores at once, it is recommended to gradually replicate the standardized templates and authority models by store groups and brand units. By establishing a CoE and centrally controlling quality standards, change management, and performance measurement, you can avoid having to rebuild for each store.
Who This Is For
Who This Is For
This is intended for DX managers, retail business managers, and CoE personnel who want to expand operations that are stable in live use to multiple stores and brands.
What You'll Decide
What You'll Decide in This Step
In Adopt & Scale, decisions are made regarding training and guideline preparation, the order of expansion to multiple stores and brands, the role and control method of the CoE, and the method for continued performance measurement.
Industry Challenges
Challenges unique to large retail companies
Operational differences by store and brand
Operational flows and POS usage differ by store and brand, making direct horizontal expansion impossible.
Adoption in the field does not take hold
If the training is insufficient, usage will decrease after the pilot ends, resulting in a state where it does not become established.
Authorities and quality standards will become inconsistent
If individual implementation is pursued for each store, the authority design and quality standards will not be unified, and control will fail.
Addressing store differences (POS version, sales floor layout)
POS versions and sales floor layouts differ for each store, requiring adjustments when applying standardized templates.
Method
Implementation Steps
1. Conduct training for store users
Conduct training for store staff on how to use it in operations.
2. Conduct training for headquarters administrators and EC/CRM administrators
We will conduct training for headquarters staff and EC/CRM administrators on authority management, approval flows, and monitoring responses.
3. Develop usage guidelines
Document usage scope, prohibited matters, and escalation procedures as guidelines.
4. Standardize skills and business templates
We will standardize the skills and business procedures built in the pilot so that they can be reused in other stores and brands.
5. Expand to multiple stores and brands
We will gradually expand the target stores and brands according to authority and quality standards.
6. Establish and control a CoE
We will establish a CoE responsible for company-wide quality standards, change management, and inquiry responses.
7. Update store manuals and knowledge
Taking into account the differences of the deployed stores, we will continuously update store manuals and knowledge bases.
8. Measure effectiveness and make deployment decisions
Measure the effects for each store and brand and decide the next deployment scope.
Data & Systems
Data and Systems Used
Human-in-the-loop
Where Human Approval Is Required
- Approval for expansion to new stores and brands
- Quality review of standardized Skills and templates
- Approval of authority standards and change management rules by CoE
Measurement
KPI
Number of deployed stores and brands
Number of stores and brands using Robo Claw
Continuation rate of usage
Proportion of usage continuing after the pilot
Variation in effects by store
Differences in labor-saving effects between stores
Pitfalls
Common Pitfalls
Deploy without training
If training is skipped and stores are rolled out immediately, usage will not become established and it will become a formality.
Roll out simultaneously to all stores
If rolled out to all stores before the CoE system is in place, handling inquiries and quality control will not keep up.
Standardize without considering store differences
If rollout ignores differences in POS versions and store layouts, rework will occur on-site.
Rollout Criteria
Deployment decision criteria checklist
- Training programs are established for store users, headquarters administrators, and EC/CRM administrators
- Usage guidelines are documented
- Skills and business templates are standardized and reusable
- The roles and structure of the CoE are defined
- Common authority standards and quality standards exist between stores
- Methods for measuring effectiveness and criteria for deployment decisions are defined
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
When should the CoE be established?
We recommend establishing it at the stage when a single business and a group of stores are operating stably in production and you start considering expansion to multiple stores and multiple brands.
Should it be rolled out to all stores at the same time?
We recommend a phased rollout. By using standardized templates and authority models and rolling out sequentially by store group, it becomes easier to maintain quality and control.
What should I do if the POS version differs by store?
We recommend using the standard template as a base and individually adjusting for differences at each store. Please consult us individually regarding how to manage these differences.
Shall we organize expansion to multiple stores and brands, and the design of the CoE together?
The approach to training, standardization, expansion to multiple stores, and CoE management can be concretized through consultation in the official LP.
