Areas of Expertise

If any of these areas are pain points in your business, we’d love to help.

API Integration
+
Since our inception, we’ve been leveraging the power of APIs. From a hosted chat-bot on AOL’s (now defunct) Instant Messenger platform to social integrations with Twitter, Facebook and Slack, Ark Ideas has the expertise to identify and integrate with any API.
Reporting Dashboards
+
Data is critical to success. This is a key lesson we’ve learned in our experience working with retail businesses. We’ll work with you to aggregate data and curate reporting that helps you spot and take advantage of trends.
Standard Operating Procedures
+
A major ingredient of good retail at scale is consistency. We’ve dedicated many years to helping clients build solid procedures that help them maintain service and brand consistency as they grow. Inspired by the book Checklist Manifesto, we’ve built tools that harness the power of checklists to build and execute operational procedures - reinforcing good habits and avoiding costly mistakes.
Software Onboarding, Implementation, and Engagement
+
Many of our software solutions have included custom implementation plans for our clients. We can propose and create plans to help your teams successfully adopt and stay engaged with new software solutions.
Marketing
+
Marketing is our first love. We can provide innovative and tech-driven solutions for attracting new customers or engaging with existing ones while proving marketing ROI.
Design
+
We’ve been designing for national retail brands for over 20 years. Let us provide you with a fresh creative perspective within your brand’s guidelines.
Compliant Messaging
+
Our brand experience extends to messaging. We’ll create communications that resonate with your retailers/reps while remaining consistent with your corporate brand, voice, and guidelines.

Partnering with Ark Ideas allows us to deliver a best in class all-in-one solution to over 5,000 retail stores that enabled them to not only manage their inventory, sales and commissions through POS but also gave them a suite of tools to help sell through the products and run their locations.

The best part in working with Ark was that they had a grasp of our business that allowed them to anticipate our needs and achieve objectives without us needing to explain the business.

Ark always takes a look at our needs and builds meaningful tools and services to help our company achieve our goals. Looking back, we started with Ark when we supported 14 stores in PA/NJ and they helped us scale to become the largest prepaid phone distributor in the country supporting over 2,000 locations.
