Date 28 April 2023: Retail Manager Solutions is delighted to announce that Halfords, the UK’s leading retailer of motoring, cycling and leisure products and service, has selected RMS’ cross-functional digital workplace called Metro.

Halfords has partnered with RMS to digitise its store processes and efficiently manage communication, task management, and compliance across its store estate. In collaboration, Halfords has developed and implemented its Digital Model Week to streamline its daily operations and ensure compliance with real-time visibility and reporting.

Karen Dyke, RMS’ CEO, remarked, “It has been wonderful working with the Halfords Team; collaborating closely to optimise their use of Metro has been a great experience for us all at RMS. The digitalisation of Halfords Model Week has already yielded positive results, with enthusiastic feedback from store employees. The Halfords Team consistently prioritises the needs of their stores, striving for efficient and effective operations with a right-first-time approach.”

Nick Davies, Head of Operational Excellence at HALFORDS, said: “The team at RMS have been fantastic. Applying their specialism to helping us deliver an engaging unified comms platform for our colleagues in stores, incorporating tailor-made Digital Model Week functionality.”

Implementation of Metro took place in early 2023.
