Say goodbye to manual price tagging and hello to the future of #grocery #retail with electronic shelf labels! 🛒✨ Did you know that the average grocery store operates on a razor-thin margin of just 1.5% net profit per year? With competition fiercer than ever, every penny counts. That's why automation through electronic shelf labels (ESL) is a game-changer for the industry.

The #CrowdStrike outage had a global impact. When outages of any size happen there are immediate increases in alerts, tickets, and calls from teams concerned with potential network hardware failures, and everyone questions how long it will take for systems to be up and running. If you’re leading a crisis management team, you are under pressure to assess the situation quickly, inform stakeholders, and take action. Here are five steps to effectively manage the event in the midst of the chaos. 1. Assess the impact: The first step is understanding the issue and its widespread nature. An incomplete picture requires time to investigate, and the time it takes can make minutes feel like hours. 2. Gather information: A quick internet search to gather available information will aid in your understanding and response to the situation. Downdetector provides a real-time overview of issues and outages, and a general internet search can also provide you with quick information. 3. Prioritize Communication: Clear, transparent communication is crucial in maintaining trust and managing concerns during disruptions. Summarize the extent of the event, its impact on the business, and the expected time frame for updates. 4. Focus Resources Effectively: Understanding the root cause of an outage allows you to allocate resources more efficiently. The right information keeps you from wasting time and resources investigating unrelated issues. 5. Strengthen Relationships: Proactive, open lines of communication reinforce your commitment to operational resilience. Demonstrating reliability and readiness to support them in times of crisis helps to solidify yourself as a trusted partner. By following these steps, you can navigate the complexities of an outage, maintain operational integrity, and build lasting trust with your stakeholders. #Technology #CrisisManagement
