In April, MBS system partners were invited to participate in our monthly System Skills Recharge session, Item Management Made Easy. During this one-hour virtual training, MBS Store Technology Solutions Sales Consultant Heather Gillespie guided attendees though practical strategies and tools to simply item management, from setup to maintenance.

Item Management Made EasyAs a reminder, System Skills Recharge is a monthly program offering virtual training opportunities designed to help users sharpen their skills, explore new features, and get more value from the MBS system. Each session focuses on practical, timely topics that empower participants to work more efficiently and confidently.

April’s session focused on how to streamline workflows, reduce errors, and keep website catalogs organized with minimal effort. The session was a hit — whether new to the MBS System or looking to optimize current processes, attendees walked away with actionable tips and best practices to make managing items easier and more efficient.

Session Learning Objectives:

  • Manage item records with ease
  • Understand the effect and benefit of the settings available in the system to improve buyer & shopper experience
  • Confidently navigate the lifecycle of an item

If you’re a system partner and missed the April session, it is accessible in the Resource Center.

Looking ahead to May, our next session, Gearing Up for Inventory, will be released as an on-demand session rather than a live event, accommodating busy end-of-term schedules. Be sure to watch your email for more details.
