COVID-19 continues to challenge businesses to adapt to changing customer buying behaviors. To stay competitive, operations teams need to maximize their biggest asset, their frontline employees. But for many enterprises, frontline employees are disconnected from their peers and the enterprise with have limited technology to perform their job well. This lack of technology and disconnected workforce limits enterprise agility, teamwork and customer service, making it very difficult for business to operate profitably and deliver a differentiated customer experience.
Theatro’s enterprise mobile communication platform creates One Team by connecting every employee across an enterprise to the people and information they need to do their jobs – and all while being heads up and hands free. Theatro’s voice-controlled mobile platform, enables real-time communication between employees and enterprise applications without the need to manage hand-held devices. With the advantages of mobile computing and workforce optimized apps, Theatro allows enterprises in the retail and hospitality sector to adapt quickly while improving productivity and gaining the competitive advantage with service.
This award comes on the heels of recent news of Theatro’s continued expansion into Gaming and Hospitality with the successful deployment at WANAAHA Casino. Theatro is proud to be a part of the Richardson community, and looks forward to continued growth and impact.
