Sheetz Executes

Management solution improves communication

ALTOONA, Pa. -- Sheetz Inc. now has a "one source" tool to send all actionable communications to the right stores at the appropriate time with the completion of its rollout of RedPrairie's Execution Management solution at its more than 365 convenience stores. With it comes the added ability to escalate issues to corporate management, according to the company.

"With Execution Management, our original intent was to provide our store management team with targeted operations-based communications," said Jim Wenner, Sheetz's vice president of information technology. "Now, the [image-nocss] solution has been adopted by all departments to improve our communication and execution at store level."

Added Steve Winegardner, Sheetz's programming services manager, "RedPrairie's solution has helped our managers to better prioritize and delegate responsibilities, giving them more time to focus on driving sales and improving customer service. In addition to improving execution at the store level, it allows corporate to track completion compliance and manage the exceptions, which is critical when there is a product recall. We hope to use the system in the future to help determine and direct best practices among store employees, and improve workforce efficiency across the board."

"RedPrairie congratulates Sheetz on improving their communication process and productivity with our Execution Management solution," said RedPrairie CEO Mike Mayoras.

Sheetz is a family-owned convenience store chain based in Altoona, Pa. For more than 50 years, its mission has been to meet the needs of customers on the go.
