Mission of the Role

Trax aims to be the single point of information for all things in store. We aim to be a reliable, consistent, customer-centric team who delivers the highest quality data and enables our partners to effectively navigate an increasingly complex retail environment. System stability and service quality are table-stakes. The role of the OSM is to allow for our customers to focus on where they truly need to – winning in retail – not with operational issues.

We aim to scale a reliable, effective method of managing all ongoing customer operations, without any degradation in customer service and support, and the OSM is a key piece to contribute to this plan since it will still promote efficiency by transition projects to “Live” phase, but also will proactively help to build an improved version of OSM model.
