Next-Gen Store Assistant Transforms Localized Retail Execution with Generative AI and Real-Time Task Management Intelligence
In retail, what separates good from great isn’t the plan. It’s the in-store execution.
But…
Even the best-laid plans can unravel at the store level when associates are overwhelmed, under-trained, or left to guess what comes next.
To keep associates on their A-game, One Door’s Store Assistant was significantly upgraded with a combination of generative AI, personalized execution workflows, and store-specific context.
It’s evolved to meet the realities of today’s retail environment, shaped directly by the challenges real retailers face on the floor.
With new capabilities powered by generative AI and the Digital Store Model, Store Assistant helps retailers close the execution gap where it matters most: In the hands of store associates.
With a sharper user experience and built-in AI, Store Assistant now delivers real-time task intelligence and personalized store-specific guidance — giving every associate what they need to execute with confidence.
Feature Overview: An Upgraded AI-Powered Store Assistant
Store Assistant is built on the Digital Store Model — technology that creates a digital twin of every location in your fleet. From layout to fixtures to store-specific attributes, it captures the nuances that make each store unique.
That foundation powers Store Assistant’s ability to deliver task guidance that’s fully tailored to each location — not a one-size-fits-all checklist but instructions that match real-world store conditions.
It’s designed to eliminate the persistent execution challenges retailers know all too well:
- Planogram resets that vary by store and fixture
- Limited time and high associate turnover
- Brand standards that demand flawless, consistent delivery at scale
Store Assistant tackles these problems head-on with a purpose-built execution engine that removes the guesswork, speeds up planogram resets, and ensures every display is floor-ready — faster and more accurately than ever.
Store Assistant: Instant Execution with Zero Guesswork
At the core of the new Store Assistant is a simple yet powerful goal: Eliminate ambiguity.
With this upgrade, store associates know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it right — all in a clean, intuitive interface powered by the Digital Store Model.
Prioritized Task Management
Store Assistant is a retail task management solution built for the pace of modern store teams. Tasks are dynamically ranked based on urgency, dependencies, and deadlines — keeping teams focused on what drives long-term impact, not short-term motion.
Personalized Assignments for Each Associate
Each associate sees only the tasks that matter to them, based on their role, location, and schedule — reducing overlap and improving ownership shift by shift.
Built-In Visual Guidance Based on Your Store
Inline tips, photos, and step-by-step instructions reduce training time and boost planogram accuracy, even for new team members or complex resets.
Real-Time Progress Visibility
Color-coded status indicators and automatic check-ins keep resets on track and eliminate the need for manual follow-ups or status updates.
Smarter Support, Faster Issue Resolution with AI
Even the most detailed plans can run into roadblocks: A missing SKU. A damaged fixture. An unscannable barcode.
Store Assistant now includes AI-powered support features to triage issues before they become delayed.
- Instant Help: Associates can access resources and FAQs, or escalate to a manager in one tap.
- Smart Issue Routing: Issues are automatically sorted and sent to the right internal department or third-party vendor.
All communication is logged, ensuring transparency and traceability from issue to resolution.
Contextual AI + Digital Store Model = Personalized Store Execution at Scale
This is more than just a smarter UI.
With its latest upgrade, Store Assistant uses the Digital Store Model to deliver guidance that adapts to every store and every associate.
It understands the unique conditions of each location — fixtures, floorplans, inventory availability — and responds accordingly. It gives each associate tasks and instructions tailored to their exact responsibilities, store layout, and shift context.
Paired with contextual AI for smarter, faster issue resolution, Store Assistant isn’t just “smart.” It’s situationally aware.
And that’s what makes execution scalable without sacrificing merchandising precision.
Store Assistant: Always-On Execution, Even Offline
No Wi-Fi? No problem.
Store Assistant works offline, syncing all data once reconnected. Tasks continue uninterrupted, even in low-connectivity environments.
Plus, with new capabilities:
- Real-Time Order Tracking gives teams visibility and accountability for merchandise ordering.
- Zero Downtime Check-ins. Tasks auto-update as progress is made, triggering the next step without manual reporting.
Why It Matters: The Business Benefits of Store Assistant
Retail execution isn’t a support function. It’s a growth driver for business.
When every store executes flawlessly using the upgraded Store Assistant, they see:
- Higher sales through faster, more accurate planogram resets
- Improved brand consistency that builds customer trust at every touchpoint
- Reduced labor costs by eliminating rework and manual coordination
- Real-time visibility for HQ into visual merchandising compliance, team engagement, and store-level progress
Most importantly: Store associates who feel confident, capable, and empowered on the floor.
