Massmart Powered by Walmart connects nearly 10,000 employees to the corporate office with Array

Who is Massmart?

Walmart acquired a majority stake in Massmart Holdings Ltd. giving them control over a number of differentiated Sub-Saharan wholesale and retail stores across 13 different countries. After using Array in Massmart's corporate entity Makro, Massmart introduced Array into several other divisions like Game, Dionwired, and the South African versions of Best Buy and Home Depot.

With a diversified portfolio of offerings, Massmart retail and wholesale offerings in electronics, consumer goods, and groceries. Now using Array to handle forms ranging from stock management and employee training to store safety and compliance.

The Problem

With so many various stores across retail and wholesale industries, Massmart needed a way to create consistent processes that would connect their corporate management to their daily operations teams. Previously, they didn't have any sort of predetermined process. Every store had their own system of collecting, storing, and organizing data. Some stores utilized pen and paper, while others tried various data management softwares like Oracle. After the acquisition, Massmart wanted to fix this glaring issue in their data management process.

They needed a way to keep all their paper forms organized. Additionally, they wanted a more efficient process. Like any large corporation, it was imperative that Massmart had ways to keep their corporate team informed with the daily operations of their stores. Retail locations tend to collect constant data whether it be inventory counts, safety & compliance reports, employee information, or cleaning checklists. Massmart needed this data to be organized and regulated so that the process was the same for every store regardless of the location or the employee completing the paperwork. Beyond a need for consistency, they required a centralized database full of information from every store in order to stay compliant with health and safety standards.

Array's Solution

Massmart originally turned to Array for a solution to standardize, organize, and share their safety forms, but they ended up walking away with so much more. Using Array's powerful mobile tools, Massmart was able to clean up and standardize their processes and automate a large part of their daily operations across multiple departments. While they came to Array needing mobile forms, they found that forms are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what Array could do for them:
