In 2020 Highs began using Intouch Insight’s IntouchShop mystery shopping program to capture authentic customer feedback and measure in-store execution across its Mid-Atlantic convenience stores in the United States. Highs deployed IntouchShop as a Shop Management solution to align store-level observation with regional operations and retail management functions.
Implementation centered on mobile first mystery-shop inspections and standardized scoring workflows, with IntouchShop configured to collect photo evidence, time stamps, and structured checklist and graded-item assessments to drive objective evaluation. Results were surfaced through manager dashboards and scorecards to enable prioritized coaching and route planning for field teams.
Operational coverage focused on store operations and regional management within Highs Mid-Atlantic footprint, engaging store supervisors and regional managers in routine observation and corrective action workflows. Over the engagement mystery-shop baseline scores rose from approximately 78 percent in 2020 to nearly 90 percent, enabling targeted coaching and improved operational performance.
Governance work included standardizing inspection templates and instituting a coaching cadence tied to shop outcomes, shifting quality oversight toward data driven reviews and manager accountability. The deployment emphasized routine evidence capture and scorecard driven coaching to reinforce operational consistency across Highs convenience stores.

In 2024, Highs deployed Taiga’s Front Office Platform to centralize sales and traffic data across its 52 stores in the Mid-Atlantic. Taiga’s Front Office Platform is an Analytics and BI solution used to consolidate point of sale and footfall signals into operational dashboards for front-line and store management.
The implementation concentrated on promotion analytics and labor-effectiveness dashboards, configuring modules to surface take-rate metrics, promotion lifecycles, and labor efficiency indicators. These configurations enabled promotion-level monitoring and real-time visibility into sales and traffic correlations to support day-to-day scheduling and promotional decisioning.
Rollout began in January 2024 across the Highs estate, with governance that provisioned manager access and prioritized front-line adoption for scheduling and promotion workflows. The deployment achieved a 95% manager login rate, demonstrating rapid operational uptake among store managers.
Reported outcomes include improved promotion ROI and more disciplined labor planning, cutting the promotion count in half and increasing rebate capture by tying promotions to real-time take-rate data. The implementation positioned Taiga’s Front Office Platform as a central Analytics and BI layer aligning promotion strategy, rebate reconciliation, and store-level labor planning.
