How Department Stores Are Streamlining Resets with the HandyCart
Goodbye Cluttered Setups — Hello Organized, Efficient Merchandising
Intro:
Department stores are constantly evolving. With seasonal product shifts, rotating displays, and in-store events, teams are under pressure to re-merchandise fast — without disrupting the customer experience.
But the tools? Still stuck in the past.
That’s why more department store teams are turning to the HandyCart Workstation — a mobile platform that converts any cart into a clean, functional command center for resets, audits, and signage updates.
🧠 Why This Matters for Department Stores
Multiple departments = multiple workflows
Floors must stay clean and safe for customers during work
Store associates need mobile access to tools while moving fast
Using boxes or rolling bins often results in clutter, lost items, or safety issues
“We used to have 3 carts rolling around with trays and loose signs. HandyCart gave us a system. It’s a game-changer during resets.” – Visual Merchandising Lead, National Department Store
