La rentabilidad llega tarde

Presentado por Ing. Julio Hernández

La rentabilidad es lo último. Lo primero son la cultura, el equipo y la experiencia

Esta presentación explora cómo la rentabilidad no se busca directamente: se construye a través de la cultura, el trabajo en equipo, el servicio y experiencias memorables para el cliente.

Descubra cómo aplicar los principios del sistema Disney al comercio minorista. Se muestra cómo los pequeños detalles, los procesos claros y los equipos alineados pueden transformar la experiencia de compra y, en consecuencia, mejorar los
resultados.

Es especialmente importante para los minoristas porque resalta una realidad clave: vender más no siempre significa ganar más. Un mejor servicio, menos desperdicio y el trabajo en equipo pueden cambiar la rentabilidad de un negocio.

Lanzamiento oficial de Threadsourced: un punto de venta impulsado por tecnología, creado para tiendas de uniformes — Hecho para América Latina, no solo traducido al español

Lanzamiento oficial de Threadsourced: un punto de venta impulsado por tecnología, creado para tiendas de uniformes — hecho para América Latina, no solo traducido.

Acompáñanos en la presentación oficial de Threadsourced: una plataforma de punto de venta y gestión de negocio creada específicamente para tiendas de uniformes. Y lanzamos con algo que la mayoría de las plataformas deja para después: soporte completo en español y multimoneda real, desde el primer día.

Esto no es una pantalla traducida encima de un sistema estadounidense. Cada pantalla, reporte, recibo, orden de trabajo, factura y correo al cliente está completamente en español. Tu tienda opera de forma nativa en tu moneda: 23 países y 21 monedas de todo el continente americano vienen incluidos, con formatos numéricos, separadores decimales y ubicación del símbolo según la convención local, no la estadounidense. Cada usuario elige su propio idioma; tu tienda conserva su moneda. Tu equipo puede trabajar en español mientras tus reportes se imprimen en inglés, o al revés.

Nos enorgullece lanzar al mercado latinoamericano y a la comunidad hispanohablante del comercio minorista en Estados Unidos — y nos hemos comprometido con las diferencias que de verdad importan, no solo con el idioma.

Descubre cómo un solo sistema puede simplificar tu día a día, eliminar las suposiciones en el negocio de grupos y hacer crecer tus ganancias. Una sola tarifa por local físico. Esto es solo una muestra de lo que incluye:

• Español e inglés completos en todo el sistema — interfaz, recibos, órdenes de trabajo, facturas y correos a clientes, con selección de idioma por usuario
• Multimoneda real — 23 países y 21 monedas de América del Norte, Central y del Sur, con formatos locales de números y fechas incorporados
• WhatsApp integrado, no improvisado — comunícate con tus clientes por el canal en el que de verdad confían. Los avisos de pedido listo, envío y recibo se envían por WhatsApp con plantillas aprobadas en español, y cada cliente elige entre WhatsApp o SMS
• Métodos de pago locales este año — llega el soporte para Mercado Pago y OXXO, para que tus clientes paguen como ya acostumbran pagar
• Usuarios ilimitados por local — accede a tu software desde donde estés
• Tiendas en línea fáciles para ti y para tus grupos, con integración disponible con Shopify y WooCommerce
• Tarjetas de regalo integradas (sin necesidad de un servicio externo) y programas de recompensas
• Fabricantes de primeras marcas ya integrados, con catálogos listos para usar — además de carga sencilla de códigos UPC para otros proveedores
• Búsqueda de productos con una sola palabra y guías de ayuda que de verdad ayudan
• Control total del negocio de grupos, con configuraciones que evitan errores costosos
• Usa el procesador de tarjetas que prefieras — sin penalizaciones
• Órdenes de trabajo de bordado detalladas, con ubicación en la prenda, opciones de arte y especificaciones completas
• Vende como tu cliente quiera comprar — toma el pedido por teléfono, mensaje de texto o WhatsApp, o envíale por correo un carrito para que él mismo lo apruebe y lo pague
• Un equipo profesional y capaz, disponible cuando lo necesites — con soporte en español

Y esto es solo el comienzo. Ven a ver lo que Threadsourced puede hacer por ti. Hablamos tu idioma.

WHAT THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW!
Please join your fellow retailers for an “Open Kimono” session with Mike Singer, CEO of Act II Huddle, Inc / Team Scrubs.

Mike joined Cherokee, Inc. in 1989, at the peak of the apparel company’s success, took over its medical uniform division in 1990, raised money - including from independent retailers - and bought the Uniform Division in 1995.

He spent the next three decades building the medical uniform business into an industry leader, including 15 years backed by private equity. After a four-year hiatus, Mike came back in 2025 investing his own capital to launch a new “family business” built for retail.

In this session, we will explore some of the questions every retailer must ask and answer:

• Why should customers choose your store, regardless of endless online choices, including Marketplace and DTC sites?
• What makes customers come back again?
• How can building a dream team keep the register ringing - and keep you sleeping and dreaming at night? 

We'll draw lessons from local retail successes and explore what end consumers are collectively saying -- good and bad -- about medical uniform retail.

The most memorable experiences are face-to-face and the opportunities for retail are vast.

Bring the questions you've always wanted to ask and join a powerful discussion with your peers about the strategies, decisions and execution that separate winning from losing.
