Case Tokmanni | Managing opening hours with Microsoft Power Apps
Opening hours are a key part of Tokmanni's service, and Tokmanni has traditionally spent a lot of resources managing the opening hours of the extensive store network and communicating changes. After mapping out the alternatives, Tokmanni ended up ordering a Microsoft Power Apps application tailored to his needs, which was selected to be implemented by Efima, who convinced with their expertise.

An efficient Power App to manage your opening hours
Excel out, Power App in!
Managing store information, like opening hours, is often done in Excel. Excel works well until the number of locations grows and following through the changes gets out of control. Using Excel may lead to errors and large Excel sheets are often far from great user experience. But most importantly, Excel does not allow you to follow whether all the changes are correctly and whether the information of the new opening hours will reach all parties involved.

Opening Hours App is an efficient tool for managing store information and its changes
Opening Hours App is a Microsoft Power Apps based solution for managing store and location information like opening hours, contact persons, contractors, and service providers.
With the Opening Hours App, making changes and managing the changes all the way to all parties is easy and transparent. Users book changes by store location and the changes are communicated to all the right contacts by email. Each contact can then acknowledge that they got the message and made the necessary changes by simply clicking Acknowledge button in the email.
The whole team can track the progress of rolling out the changes live from the application and ensure opening hours change smoothly without a glitch. The whole process is transparently manageable and any exceptions are easy to manage.
