New task management features from Axonify

Keep HQ, managers and frontline teams in sync with Axonify Task Management

Keeping frontline operations on track isn’t easy. HQ needs visibility, managers need flexibility, and employees need clear direction—but gaps often emerge. Critical tasks slip through the cracks, strategies don’t translate into action and managers waste time manually tracking work.

Axonify’s latest Task Management features solve this by driving alignment and agility at scale: 

• Manager-created tasks empower local leaders to assign and track work that keeps every shift running smoothly.
• Task Initiatives connect frontline execution to company goals, proving impact and highlighting gaps.
• Mobile push notifications ensure every task—big or small—gets done on time.

Here’s how these updates help your teams stay agile, focused and in sync—so work gets done right the first time:

Put managers in control of task management

For too long, task management has been a balancing act. Headquarters need consistency, while frontline managers need agility. Often, these needs clash. With Axonify’s new manager-created tasks, we’re putting managers behind the wheel—site, regional and district managers can now leverage their on-the-ground expertise to create and track tasks directly. This ensures greater efficiency and alignment with real-time operational needs that align with organizational goals but accommodate the unique needs of managers’ specific teams and locations.

 Benefits of manager-led task management

• Faster execution: Managers can react instantly to emerging needs, keeping operations running smoothly.
• Increased accountability: Foster a culture of responsibility and follow-through where managers direct task ownership.
• Improved alignment: Tailor tasks to the specific needs of each location, district, region or shift for maximum impact that support organization-wide mandates.
• Reduced bottlenecks: Streamline workflows with quick and efficient decision-making thanks to the intimate context that managers have.
• Clearer visibility: Managers won’t just create tasks and forget about them; they’re able to monitor the status of the tasks they created through detailed reporting to drive operations forward.

Prove how your operations feed business goals

Without holistic information and a way to visualize how individual tasks feed up into broader strategic goals, organizations don’t have visibility into what approaches are working. Axonify has introduced Initiatives that connect individual operational efforts to organizational themes. 

Initiatives mean that you can define strategic themes—such as a seasonal promotion—and when tasks are created, you can choose to associate those tasks with that program. This means that you can now:

• Report on program effectiveness: See how frontline efforts contribute to key business outcomes.
• Detect gaps and inefficiencies: Identify areas for improvement and optimize performance.

These operational Initiatives can be combined with the Initiatives that are part of Axonify Communications, such that your messages and operational tasks can work in tandem to drive the same strategic mission. 

Task notifications means they’ll never get missed

What if the romaine lettuce needs to urgently be taken off the shelves because of a recall? Or, what if there’s a snowstorm inbound and frontline workers need to ensure outdoor displays are dismantled? Or, perhaps a VIP guest is arriving and staff need to prepare.

Think of the impact to your business if these required tasks don’t reach your frontline staff in time.

Because timing is critical, Axonify Task Management now offers mobile push notifications that:

• Minimize delays: Real-time alerts ensure immediate awareness of tasks.
• Increase accountability: Targeted notifications that are hard to miss.
• Increase precision: Associates know exactly what needs to be done and when.

With mobile push notifications being vital for urgent tasks, they’re equally important for repeating daily routine tasks, too. Choose to deliver notifications as a daily summary reminder or individual urgent alerts.
