History and Origins

shop, but it wasn’t until 1876 when the first loaf of bread was baked and “Warburtons the
bakers” were born.

Background
Red Insight is the name of the tablet app that Golden Gekko developed for the Retail Development Team
at Warburtons. The project began in July 2012 with a scoping and design phase where the applications
functional requirements were set, transformed into wireframes and the scope of the first release was agreed
to with the key stakeholders.
The project kicked off in August 2012, delivered just after Christmas 2012 and User Acceptance Testing began.

Mission
With more than 20.000 stores across the UK carrying Warburtons products and over 4.500 employees,
Warburtons mission was to create a productivity app that did not merely add a layer of complexity to
existing business processes, but made life easier on a daily basis for the Retail Field Team.
Ease of use was crucial for this app to be adopted as the group of users ranged in age from 25-55. For
both Warburtons and Golden Gekko, the critical success factors of the project were the speed at which a
user could enter the data and a clear improvement of efficiency.

Launch
Once development was complete, user manuals were created and a combination of classroom and
onsite training sessions were held with Regional Managers and a select group of users called “Stars”. The
objective of the training and coaching was so managers would feel confident with how the system works
and encourage their team to use it actively. The “Stars” were selected to act as evangelists within the
organization and to be seen by their peers as someone they could go to if they had a question about the app.
Training was followed by a soft launch for a pilot territory and a rollout to the remaining employees in the months
to follow. Today, the key stakeholders are measuring the impact of the app for ongoing improvements to the
app and the support. There is an emphasis on the amount of time it takes for a user to enter the data for the
first time versus the 5th time, as well as requests for app features and improvements to training and coaching.

“The launch has been even
more successful than
anticipated with early roll out
dates being fought over like
Wonka golden tickets.”

Results
Prior to Red Insight, each member of the Retail Field Team was spending 1 day a week taking all the
information they captured from the field on paper and inputting it into the internal systems.
Today, just a short time after launch, overall productivity has improved, manual data entry is almost eliminated
and the application has been hugely adopted and appreciated by its users. Most often people are reluctant
towards new tools, but the Red Insight app has immediately proven to be a tool that makes the Retail Field
team more efficient, while fun to use.

Success Factors
• A solid start: The IT team equipped employees with Android tablets and a straight forward data
capture app to get them accustomed to the technology (many had never used a tablet or app before).
• Knowing the importance of prioritization: After this initial phase IT team collected many insights,
feedback and feature requests. With help from Golden Gekko these were prioritized into a
roadmap allowing the team to focus on the “must have” features first.
• Clear project rollout plan: A concrete plan with an emphasis on training that contemplated multiple
iterations, pilot testing and quickly responding to feedback.
