Opterus announces version 14.1 of Store Ops-Center with new user interface

January 13, 2014

Opterus, a provider of cloud store communications and task management solutions, today announced the release of Store Ops-Center (SOC) Version 14.1. In this new version, the entire SOC user interface has been redesigned to reflect a more modern look, with new features for auto-archiving and searching historical content, advanced reporting options, enhanced administration and automatic issue escalations. Opterus is highlighting the new SOC user interface at the NRF 103rd Annual Convention and EXPO in New York, New York, January 13-14 in booth #4129.

"The new user interface, while still user-friendly and intuitive, has allowed us to bring SOC up to speed with a modern user experience and simultaneously polish it with a new flat design. The focus was on keeping it minimalistic and clean yet retaining most of the basic navigation so that experienced users wouldn’t need re-training," said Rick Peters, chief product officer, Opterus.

According to the company, Opterus’ SOC is an intuitive, cloud solution designed specifically for retail to simply and effectively manage and execute store tasks and communications. It is designed to measure and increase operational compliance, communicate corporate policy, manage day-to-day objectives and tasks, and handle issues between corporate office and store locations.

"We wanted to make sure we stuck to our development and design philosophy which is based on a quote from Einstein, 'Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler,' and I think we did that," said Janet Hawkins, president and CEO, Opterus. "The team did an amazing job of updating the user interface of SOC. It’s still very intuitive for our users but has a fresh look that I think that our customers will enjoy."
