For global retailers, choosing the right locations for their sites is key. It includes balancing customer demand, market fluctuations, and operational complexities of international markets, and evaluating the contractual terms of each proposal.
Nakisa simplifies this process by offering seamless integration with data centers to evaluate demographic trends and competitive landscapes. It also provides a centralized site repository, offering visibility into both existing and potential locations. Each site includes financial viability analysis, allowing the assessment of potential revenue, planned investments, and key financial metrics such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)-+/*, Net Present Value (NPV), ROI, and Break-Even Point. You can also add custom metrics to site scorecards, based on your unique business needs and compare up to 10 locations side by side to find the best fit.
Global retailers must efficiently manage capital projects across regions, coordinate both internal and external teams, and ensure projects are completed on time and within budget.
Nakisa provides powerful project management tools designed specifically for capital projects. Whether expanding, relocating, downsizing, or managing other project types, you can set the project scope (premise or full site), priority, and project privacy levels. Easily track milestones, manage timelines, and assign tasks to both internal teams and external contractors. Configurable templates, in-app notifications, and real-time analytics help monitor progress, prevent delays, and maintain alignment and accountability. These capabilities empower retailers to optimize resources, track performance, and ensure efficient project execution.
Once a lease is signed or a site is built, global retailers face the ongoing challenge of operating and optimizing a diverse real estate portfolio. They must maintain full visibility and control while managing owned, leased, or subleased properties across stores, warehouses, distribution centers, and offices worldwide. This involves ensuring compliance with financial obligations, adhering to contractual terms, and meeting regional operational requirements. Here’s how Nakisa IWMS helps overcome these challenges.
Global retailers must manage large and complex real estate portfolios across multiple regions.
Nakisa is purpose-built to manage large-scale, complex real estate portfolios. It covers intricate lease structures, including subleases, sandwich, and evergreen leases, while offering a granular control over contractual clauses and areas. The platform also supports global operations with built-in multi-currency, multi-language, multi-calendar, parallel accounting standards.
With built-in automation, critical date and clause alerts, mass operations, AI Document Abstraction, and other AI Agents, the software streamlines portfolio management, reduces manual effort, and accelerates decision-making. Scenario modeling and budgeting tools simulate lease scenarios and predict the financial impact of reassessment options.
All data is centralized in a single repository, with real-time dashboards and out-of-the-box reports providing full portfolio visibility and control.

Maintaining retail facilities in optimal condition is critical to avoiding operational disruptions that impact revenue and customer satisfaction. From unexpected equipment failures to delayed repairs, facility teams face constant pressure to act fast, especially during peak retail seasons. Here’s how Nakisa IWMS helps global retailers overcome these challenges.
Global retailers operate across diverse facilities and different regions, each with its own set of assets and operational requirements. Without a centralized system, retailers risk facing costly delays, prolonged downtime, and missed preventative maintenance, all of which negatively impact business operations and profitability.
Nakisa provides a single source of truth for all facilities, their associated assets, and inventory parts, as well as the historical data of maintenance, repairs, and inspections. This comprehensive asset register enables efficient lifecycle management, from acquisition to maintenance, by tracking key data points, including asset vendor or lessor information, model, location, condition, work order history, downtime, and performance statistics. The software also links related documentation such as lease agreements, repair manuals, warranties, and attached work orders. With built-in inventory tracking and replenishment planning, you minimize downtime, streamline operations, and optimize resource utilization across all sites.
Retailers must balance preventative maintenance, routine inspections, and unexpected repairs, prioritizing tasks based on their urgency and operational impact.
Nakisa supports all aspects of facilities maintenance through scheduled tasks, reactive repairs, inspections, and work order management. Automate preventive maintenance with recurring work orders to ensure continuous upkeep and minimize equipment failures. For unplanned issues, create and assign reactive work orders based on asset status (online or offline), priority (critical or low), and location (store or warehouse). Track downtime, compare estimated vs. final costs, and monitor performance through follow-up inspections, and stay aligned with real-time notifications.
Nakisa also simplifies inspections with configurable templates that allow teams to assess asset conditions, ensure compliance, and proactively flag maintenance needs, preventing minor issues from becoming costly problems.
Maintenance teams, facility managers, and external service providers often rely on separate systems or isolated channels of communication, which slow down the resolution of repair and maintenance requests.
Nakisa enables seamless collaboration across internal and external teams. For internal collaborators, it serves as a centralized hub with assigned tasks, email reminders, in-app comments, notifications, and a user-specific action center. For external providers, Nakisa offers a dedicated Partner Portal, which includes collaboration history, contractor performance tracking, and a comprehensive view of all recurring and one-time payments. Contractors can also upload their invoices directly to Nakisa for smoother reconciliation. With Nakisa, communication is streamlined, processes are aligned, and issues are resolved more efficiently.
Global retailers need to manage lease accounting, financial planning, and reporting across a wide network of stores, distribution centers, warehouses, equipment, and fleets. Ensuring accuracy, maintaining compliance with lease accounting standards like IFRS 16, ASC 842, and local GAAP, and delivering full transparency are all critical not just for audits but for maintaining operational control and enabling strategic business decisions. See how Nakisa supports global retailers’ finance teams below.

Global retailers operate in a fast-changing environment shaped by digital transformation, international expansion, and evolving consumer expectations. They face growing challenges, from ensuring regulatory compliance and organizational visibility across markets to optimizing structures and managing complex M&A activities.

Retailers often struggle with fragmented data, inconsistent reporting, and limited real-time workforce insights due to complex, decentralized structures. This makes it difficult to align staffing with operational goals and quickly respond to market changes. Managing compliance with multiple labor laws adds further complexity, requiring a unified approach to data and workforce management.
Nakisa solves these challenges with native ERP and HCM integrations, robust APIs, and built-in data consolidation tools that unify data sources for a real-time, centralized workforce view.

Nakisa also supports SOX and labor compliance with accurate audit trails and automated compliance reporting. Retailers can track key metrics in real-time, optimize staffing, and ensure regulatory compliance, all from a single platform.
Retailers often face inefficient org structures that reduce productivity, create barriers to cross-functional collaboration, cause role ambiguity, misalign resources, and result in poor decision-making. These challenges hinder the ability to respond quickly to market changes or growth opportunities. To stay competitive, retailers need agile, well-designed organizations that drive efficiency and responsiveness.
Nakisa empowers retailers to optimize their org structures by delivering actionable insights into structures, layers, spans of control, resource allocation, and more. With advanced scenario modeling and built-in collaboration features, Nakisa’s strategic org design tool enables OD teams to simulate infinite scenarios, evaluate and compare their impact on defined goals in real time, foster cross-functional collaboration, and build optimized organizations that adapt quickly to evolving market demands and scale efficiently.

Native ERP/HCM integration with writeback supports seamless data synchronization and ensures always-accurate data.
Retailers undergoing mergers, acquisitions, or major organizational changes face significant challenges integrating structures, processes, and cultures. These transitions require aligning HR, finance, and real estate operations, ensuring compliance, and maintaining business continuity, all while optimizing workforce alignment and collaboration across diverse teams and locations. Whether driven by growth, efficiency, or market shifts, both M&A and reorganization demand meticulous planning and execution, clear communication, and robust analytics.
Nakisa solves these challenges by providing advanced tools for org modeling, scenario planning, and workforce analytics. The platform allows OD teams to visualize and compare different org structures, simulate the impact of proposed changes, select the optimal structure, and align headcount and skills with strategic goals.

With real-time analytics and native bidirectional integration with major ERP and HCM systems, Nakisa supports smooth talent integration, minimizes disruption, and accelerates successful org transformation during M&A or reorganization events.
Retailers face constant pressure to manage labor costs, which make up a significant portion of operating expenses. Achieving the right balance between cost efficiency and service quality is difficult, especially with staffing needs that fluctuate due to seasonal peaks, promotions, and shifting customer demand. Overstaffing increases expenses, while understaffing risks poor service and lost sales. Many retailers struggle to accurately forecast short-term labor needs and balance operational efficiency with budget constraints.
Nakisa’s operational workforce planning tool empowers retailers to optimize headcount planning and labor allocation with precision. By combining real-time labor cost modeling, demand forecasting, and integrated budget views, the platform enables dynamic adjustments to staffing based on evolving business needs. AI-powered features analyze workforce data, suggest staffing adjustments, and support scenario modeling to evaluate different strategies. With centralized dashboards, automated vacancy tracking, and secure collaboration across HR and finance, the platform helps reduce excess labor costs, avoid service disruptions, and ensure staffing plans remain aligned with both budget constraints and operational goals.
As retail organizations navigate digital transformation and global expansion, effective talent management is essential to drive agility, innovation, and long-term success. Yet many retailers struggle to align workforce capabilities with strategic goals, close skills gaps, and develop succession plans for key roles. High turnover, limited visibility into training needs, and ineffective development programs further disrupt continuity, especially in competitive labor markets and during periods of significant change.
Nakisa helps retailers address these challenges with integrated workforce planning, analytics, and org design capabilities. With real-time skill tracking and scenario modeling, the platform delivers visibility into workforce composition, identifies current and future skill gaps, and simulates various workforce strategies to address them.

I can see that end users do more value-added jobs now. They don’t need to chase the real estate team for lease information or perform manual data entry. Instead, they validate data and close efficiently. For example, month-end closing is now twice as fast with Nakisa, saving 50% of man-hours.
Nakisa has a lot to offer in terms of flexibility, user-friendliness, ERP integration, and its cloud solution.
