Future Group, formerly known as Pantaloon Knowledge Group, is setting up a central control system linking all its diversified corporate entities.
With this new central office, Kishore Biyani, the CMD and his core team will be able to monitor all its other corporate offices, stores and warehouses and the retail businesses.
Chinar Deshpande, chief information officer, Future Group, told Business Standard that the control room would enable the chairman to interact with the other group corporate offices such as Kshitij, the real estate fund, Indivision, the investment consultancy arm and Home Solutions.
"In addition to this, it would also be possible to track details like in store displays as well as receive continuous business alerts from all the centres," said Deshpande.
While Reliance and Hindustan Lever have set up similar systems, this is the first time a retailer is installing something like this.
