Retail staff are always on the go, so they need instant, reliable communication. But bulky, outdated radios don’t cut it, especially when staff already carry devices to scan items or check inventory. A modern push-to-talk app like Zello immediately cuts your communication costs and connects your staff, so they can focus on customer service. From warehouse employees and back office management to in-store sales associates, retail communication has never been so efficient.

Digital Transformation Made Easy
Retail store communication devices, such as two way radios, have existed for many years. Although the transition to a push-to-talk app can seem daunting, Zello easily integrates with network radios. Even better, a dedicated support representative will assist anytime with onboarding, training, and more.

Shared Devices for Shift Workers
Using a pool of shared devices for shift workers is a popular way to save money and simplify user management. However, it can be hard to tell who is using a particular device, and the history of communication persists across shifts, causing privacy concerns. Our Shared Device feature requires shift workers to enter their name, and take a selfie to begin their shift. When a worker’s shift is over they simply go to the menu and select "End Shift". Once the shift has ended, all data, including the employee’s name, picture, and messages, is cleared.
