What this is
Store and multi-location operations: inventory, labor, merchandising, loss and the weekly operating rhythm. The course is organized into 6 modules — the retail operating week, inventory, labor and scheduling, merchandising and layout, loss prevention and standards and audits — with 18 lessons in total, so you build the skill in a sensible order and can return to any part when you need it.
It does not promise sales, margin or shrink improvements. It covers the operating disciplines of store and multi-location retail so you can run the week deliberately and spot problems early.
What you will be able to do
- Plan and run a weekly retail operating rhythm
- Manage inventory counts, replenishment and stock accuracy
- Schedule labor against footfall and tasks

- Reduce loss and run standards audits
