Red Book reveals latest version of store execution management tool

June 16, 2009

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Red Book Solutions today revealed the latest version of Source-2-Source, a solution focused solely on store-level task completion. Paired with The Manager's Red Book, this solution embodies industry best practices to coordinate between store-level execution plans and corporate management strategy.

"This Internet-based, critical task management resource continues to allow hospitality and retail executives to assign, in real time, priority tasks at the store level while providing more functionality, faster reporting and a user-centered interface," said Gregory Thiesen, president and chief executive officer, Red Book Solutions. "Our clients benefit from a customizable roll-up reporting solution in which executives know in an instant when priority tasks are completed and can accumulate information requests."

The combination of The Manager's Red Book and Source-2-Source gives companies an efficient end-to-end solution that bridges the gap between daily operations and periodic corporate assigned initiatives. With this approach, Red Book Solutions consolidates typical communications, such as e-mails, calls and faxes, and unites it with store execution tasks within an intuitive, user friendly system allowing for a higher level of accountability, efficiency and customer-centered attention.

The new version of Source-2-Source provides users with more functionality than before without the expense of in-house IT maintenance, support, equipment purchases or training — all of which can be quite costly.

Task management and reporting features:

• Send out tasks immediately to custom groups or individuals
• Set priorities with required actions
• View executive summaries
• Send information requests to all locations

Additional available functionality includes:

• Announcements to share the latest, hottest news within the entire company
• A campaign calendar to keep all stores aware of upcoming ad campaigns
• Feedback to capture trackable information directed to corporate departments from stores
• A document library to keep up-to-date versions of electronic documents for reference
