Good collaboration is key to connecting employees located throughout the country, and even the globe. Webex by Cisco helps us at the Cisco Store to connect and collaborate with colleagues located at different store locations. On this week’s episode of Tech Tuesday, our Tech Expert, located in San Jose, California, will demonstrate how he can collaborate with his colleague, based out of the RTP office in North Carolina, using the Webex board.

As Brian explains, he has an upcoming trip to visit the RTP campus to install technology throughout at the newly renovated location. Using the Webex Board in the San Jose store, he calls his colleague in RTP to work through the technology deployment plan. When she shares the store floor plan on her screen, Brian is able to take over using the Webex board whiteboarding mode and mark up the document as they walk through their plan.

This digital whiteboarding session helps to bring collaboration and planning one step further, to better visualize and demonstrate ideas. In this case, Brian and his colleague will talk through the layout of the store as Brian highlights shelving and windows, and then map out where different technologies will be located throughout the store, such as Meraki access points, switches, and cameras. When finished planning, the marked-up document is saved automatically to be sent to relevant team members.

This Webex board at the Cisco Store has helped us create an easy to use, touch based, high quality collaboration experience. With a single, high resolution device, we can connect with remote team members at different store locations to bring our meetings and collaboration to the next level. Learn more about the capabilities of Webex boards here. Plus, stay tuned for more updates on the Cisco Store Tech Lab installation in RTP, coming soon!

Cisco Meraki cloud managed smart cameras provide the Cisco Store with reliable security and valuable business insights. With the brand new MV2 indoor flex camera, including the full Meraki software suite, we can monitor our environment and get alerted to movement in the store. On this week’s episode of Tech Tuesday, our Tech Expert Brian Domine will demonstrate how the MV2 camera recently alerted him to a very special delivery.

Brian will begin by demonstrating how the small, compact design of the magnetic MV2 camera allows us to attach it to any metal surface. With an adjustable hinge, rotating base and flexible mount options, we’re able to position the camera to get the perfect angle for us. As Brian explains, the camera also comes with built-in analytics that provides insight into our environment. In this particular situation, Brian will get a motion alert from Meraki to his email, that alerts him to someone in the store. When he goes to investigate, Brian will find that he is in store for a special delivery from a coworker- the new Cisco Store summer collection! Shop the new collection here.

Data analytics are at the core of good business decision making. At the Cisco Store, we use DOMO to help us visualize and analyze trends and patterns in our data to better understand our business. On this week’s episode of Tech Tuesday, our Tech Expert Brian Domine will show off some of the DOMO visualizations we have displayed in the store, and how we use them to learn more about our online sales.

With DOMO, we have the ability to seamlessly connect our data sources through pre-built data connectors. On this week’s episode, Brian will be showing off the visualizations that were created through the DOMO Magento2 connector. The output datasets from this connector are updated in real time, on our own, personalized schedule. On this episode, Brian is only showing off our online sales analysis. However, when we do return to the office, we will be able to overlay our online sales data with in store sales, connecting the various datasets in the backend of the tool.

Watch the video now!

When creating DOMO visualizations, we can easily choose a previous or current period of time, or compare period over period. Brian will walk the audience through a variety of visualizations that we have filtered for the current period of time. He’ll show off our visualization of daily online sales, broken down by geographic store. We use this card to understand how our different online stores are performing compared to each other, as well as sales trends over the current month. We can also take a look at a year-to-date view of our online sales, to understand when there were spikes in orders or sales, and overlay that information with events like Cisco Live, the holiday season, new store openings, etc. to better understand sales trends.

With DOMO, we can also create cards that display our bestsellers across our different stores. This helps us understand what products our customers are most interested in for the current month, and allows us to better tailor our marketing efforts. Brian will show how the visualization helps us see that the Opti-Dri polo is currently our bestseller. Shop the look here. Additionally, he’ll show that our brand new collaboration with the Connected Asian Affinity Network has also risen in top sales this month. Shop that collaboration here, and give back to the CAAN Fighting AAPI Hate and Discrimination fund.

Today, we displayed our Magento2 ecommerce sales data visualizations through DOMO. At the Cisco Store, we also have the ability to connect our data to analyze marketing activities on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, email marketing through Klaviyo, and more. Learn more about the capabilities of DOMO here.
