Improve store execution and labour productivity across your grocery network
In grocery retail, operational efficiency is won or lost in hundreds of micro-moments every day, from shelf replenishment and queue management to fresh food checks and incident response. Unlike headsets and walkie-talkies, cWatch is a wearable communication system that store teams actually use throughout the shift, enabling faster response and better floor coordination.

Managers need more replenishment per shift, but delegating and coordinating teams eats the time.
How cWatch solves it
The manager issues the replenishment task instantly through voice communication on cWatch. The assigned associate receives the alert immediately, confirms task pickup and coordinates with the backroom team without unnecessary walking.

Business benefit
More shelves replenished within the same labour hours, faster coordination and less manager time spent on manual delegation.
Queues build within minutes at peaks, while staff reallocation is too slow to keep up.
How cWatch solves it
The checkout associate or nearby team member instantly requests support through cWatch. The nearest available colleague receives the alert directly and moves to the required zone immediately, without disrupting the wider store team.

Expiry, temperature and fresh checks are delayed or inconsistent, causing avoidable food waste.
How cWatch solves it
Based on the manager’s schedule, reminders for expiry, temperature and fresh product checks are automatically sent to the assigned team members during the shift. The associate confirms task completion directly on cWatch.
Teams waste time checking the bottle return machine, and faults are found only after customers leave.
How cWatch solves it
cWatch connects directly with the RVM and alerts the assigned associate only when action is required, such as full capacity, paper replacement or customer assistance. The issue is resolved immediately, before customers leave the store.

Spills, hazards and equipment faults need immediate action, but escalation is manual and slow.
How cWatch solves it

Teams repeatedly check the loading bay to see if the supplier arrived, which delays unloading.
How cWatch solves it
When the supplier arrives, they use the dedicated call point at the loading bay. The receiving team is instantly alerted on cWatch and the assigned associate confirms task pickup immediately.

Zero loading-bay checks, faster unloading response and quicker handover of goods to the backroom team.
