On-demand, multi-channel retail management software developer CoreSense today announced the launch of the company’s Retail Competitiveness Index Survey, an interactive self-assessment tool designed to help small and medium retailers get a clearer picture of how effectively they are competing in five different areas of retail management.

Developed in-house by CORESense using best-in-class retail management practices, the survey is free to use and provides a personal score-card with recommendations on how the retailer can improve their ability to reach and acquire new customers, convert shoppers to buyers, deliver customer service, build customer loyalty, and achieve a faster return on their IT investment.

“We developed this survey as a creative and engaging way to provide valuable information to SMRs,” said Chris Martin, Director of Marketing at CORESense. “There are many things that retailers can do to improve how they measure up against their competition. By doing a quick and easy self-assessment, SMRs can walk away with tangible advice based on their own current practices on how best to close the gap with their competitors.”
