“Instant access and accuracy of data allows us to speed up our Store Planning and execution efforts dramatically”. Jalal Hamad, Director, Store Environment, Merchandising Operation

“The big benefit of this Site-Intel CADx release is that anyone with login rights can now access data without having an AutoCAD file available. Today’s AutoCAD Files contain a wealth of information, up until now only a select group of people could access that data; CADx changes all of that. The system automatically refreshes information in the cloud as drawings are updated. The implications on labor savings and reduced execution times are very significant,” said Connect Oasis President, Terry Price. “This is a key component in our vision to make store planning and design files intelligent.”
“Site-Intel gives The Home Depot Store and Merchandise Planning teams the ability to access store layout and SKU placement data that was previously only accessible in AutoCAD files,” said Jalal Hamad, Director, Store Environment, Merchandising Operations for The Home Depot. “This represents a significant change in the way we plan and execute resets. Instant access and accuracy of data allows us to speed up our Store Planning and execution efforts dramatically.”
Converting data from AutoCAD files is the first in a series of Site-Intel data consolidation initiatives being implemented by The Home Depot. “We think we are just getting started. We are very excited by the prospect of leveraging even more value from the Site-Intel platform as we layer in additional functionality and enroll more team members,” said Jalal Hamad.
