Natural Insight Announces Merchandising Powerhouse RMP as Newest Client

In a slow economy companies leverage technology to power growth.

Sterling, VA & Duluth, GA, September 2, 2009 — Natural Insight, the developer of a fast and flexible solution for managing distributed workforces, has added Retail Marketing Professionals, Inc. (RMP) as its newest client. RMP is a leading provider of merchandising services that help clients ensure consumer products are correctly stocked, positioned and marketed in stores across the country.

Due to the nature of RMP's business and the many store locations that its workers visit, the company needs to coordinate and manage the work of a widespread team of more than 6,500 employees — a challenge that grows more complex each year. "We have worked with other service providers in the past," says Bob Schafer, RMP's owner and partner, "and we've found that Natural Insight provides greater flexibility and a more comprehensive approach to workforce management."

One of Northern Virginia's rising technology stars, Natural Insight is offered as a web-based Software-as-a-Service model, allowing companies to rapidly transform the way they manage their workforces. Using the solution's intuitive interface, managers load assignments onto a Web-based portal that workers across the country visit to find their next projects. Because of Natural Insight's advanced design, workers are empowered to select the assignments that are closest to them, self-schedule their work and report on project status. Managers can then view, analyze and report on their team's collective efforts in real time, and easily drill down to see the status of specific people, places and projects. In addition, they can focus more of their energies on strategic responsibilities such as training or overseeing new product introductions, rather than the minutiae of scheduling specific assignments.

"Gaining RMP as a client truly demonstrates the power of the Natural Insight platform and its ability to manage large distributed workforces." says Stefan Midford, Natural Insight's president and CEO. "It's one more confirmation of the need for more advanced solutions to help companies succeed, which is driving continued strong growth for our company."
