Why We are Successful
We prefer to take a different approach. For RPE, retail consulting is about providing resources when required, and we prefer to think of ourselves as part of your team-not an outsider.
RPE operates differently in that we establish meaningful, long-term relationships with our clients. RPE aspires to provide the highest level of quality and services, which provides the incentive for clients to return. Again and again. It's this relationship that works out best for both your organization and RPE.
RPE works with your staff to achieve your goals. RPE will readily fuse internal and RPE resources in a coordinated effort to achieve the goals you desire.
And, we have the talent. RPE recruits only senior level talent with retail expertise. RPE works with popular vendors' applications, so our talent already has experience in your software. Extending the relationship means you don't have to train an outsider for every new project. We work with you and beside you.

Documentation is probably the most neglected task in IT. There seemingly never is enough time to address this task prior to the implementation, and resources are immediately diverted post-implementation to more "important" tasks. Consider RPE for documenting your systems. This includes writing training manuals, technical documentation, system and data flows and more. RPE also has multi-media capabilities to produce videos with screens, narratives, graphics and more. On-line videos provide an alternative when classroom training is not feasible and provide a library of functional support.
