Indianapolis, IN – October 3, 2016 – Appirio, a global cloud services company that creates next generation worker and customer experiences, today announced the release of its Retail Worker Experience Solution, a Salesforce Fullforce Solution for Retail. The Retail Worker Experience Solution combines Appirio's retail industry expertise with its strong Salesforce deployment experience to help retailers increase employee engagement and improve the customer experience.
The new offering aims to tackle the business growth challenges faced by retailers struggling with outdated technologies ? a barrier that denies employees the benefits of consumer-grade experiences.
