Tomax has been making changes in regards to a new “product management” focus. Seems funny that I’ve been labeled a product manager since my return, but I guess now they want to move everything in that direction.

What does it mean for me? The biggest thing is that I’ve been given an even longer title than I had before. Before I was just the “Product Manager for Customer Management”. I am now “Product Manager for Merchandise Management, Store Operations, and Customer Management“. Whew! Let’s see if you can say that three times fast. Nah… forget that, let’s see if you can even say it once.

But what it means is that I am in charge of product management for any Tomax products that deal with store inventory, purchasing, receiving (merchandise management), store handheld applications, transfers, loss prevention, cash management (store operations), point of sale, order management, and multi-channel (customer management).

That’s a lot of stuff. As you can see here, Tomax only has six product areas. Now I run three of them. My plan for world domination is slowly coming to fruition! Not really. I’m not real sure what my benefit is… more work and better domain experience, right? It will be good for Tomax. I’m interested to see how it goes over the next year.
