Working Smarter with Webtreepro

 

At a Glance

Established in 1993 USA & Canada Customer since January 2014

Headquartered in Texas, Sport Clips Inc. is a national sports-themed hair care franchise for men and boys. One of the fastest-growing franchise networks, Sport Clips has more than 1,800 stores across the U.S. and Canada. It is ranked by Entrepreneur as one of the Top 10 “Fastest-Growing Franchises” and ranks 36th in the “Franchise 500.” It is also ranked by Forbes as a “Top Ten Best Franchise” to buy.

Seeking a way to efficiently manage and distribute large amounts of content in various media formats, Sport Clips needed a central point for franchisees to easily access critical information.

Sport Clips needed a solution to be intuitive and organized while ensuring Sport Clips franchisees the latest version of business documents and resources.

 

The Primero Solution

Sport Clips’ new ‘Huddle’ site – an Intranet portal for corporate and franchisees powered by Webtreepro – allowed the company to intelligently and systematically organize documents, ensuring that only the most up-to-date content was available. It also brought a personalized user experience to Sport Clips, wherein information presented to the user is customized based on their role within the company. An integrated search function that enables keyword searches has been an invaluable tool for Sport Clips. In addition to making information quick and easy to locate, Sport Clips can now publish and set expiration dates on content – and receive an alert when a document is approaching expiration.

Benefits

  • SaaS architecture provides full CMS via the cloud, no need to invest in hardware and software.
  • Role-based user experience presents users with customized information based on their role within the company.
  • Intuitive, simple content management puts control in the hands of the corporate team – no specialized IT training is necessary.
  • Digital asset management enables up-to-date information to be quickly found by both franchisee and corporate users.

 

Time for a New Approach to Managing Content

Sport Clips produces a large quantity of content (more than 7,000 documents) spanning across all departments that require managing and updating. Sport Clips makes all of this content available to franchisees via web-based repositories, and it is essential that the information is accurate and easily accessible.

Franchisees demand the ability to log in, view content that is specific to their job requirements, and get right back to executing their business objectives. Due to its rapid growth, Sport Clips found that its previous method of content management couldn’t keep up. The number of new tools and documents made task of managing content overwhelming, time-consuming and difficult.

Quick Access to Quality Information

With Webtreepro, Sport Clips franchisees are visiting 10% fewer pages – and spending 12% less time to obtain the information and materials needed to make their franchise a success. Additionally, overall participation is up: Sport clips now has 41% more users accessing the Intranet portal to support their operations. The Huddle’s intuititve, easy-to-use interface enables the Sport Clips Huddle team to be managed by the corporate team – no specialized IT training necessary.
