Kmart Australia is one of the leading retailers employing over 30,000 team members across 220 stores in Australia. As a result of its unparalleled growth, it became vital to develop an intranet solution that would improve regular communication and collaboration between team members.
Kmart Australia needed to transform the way team members published operational content to selected audiences, and this was achieved through the launch of a new enterprise-wide Intranet called KiT.
The drag and drop document authoring process significantly removes the barrier to entry for all non-technical team members at Kmart Australia.

CentricMinds also manages security and metadata associations, search indexing and the support of in-line functions like users commenting on documents.
Critical or confidential documents can be securely set up to be seen only by those involved in a project or making decisions.
At the heart of the new Kmart Australia Intranet is the CentricMinds Document Management System. The DMS suite is seamlessly integrated with the core Intranet user experience, and enables Kmart Australia authors with document management privileges to control both simple and complex document publishing and management tasks with little effort.
The DMS supports full versioning and document lifecycle actions (Check-in, Check-out, Rollback and Restore). Authors can also compare versions of Microsoft Office and Adobe documents side by side, where the highlighting tool will show differences between the documents being compared.

The value of clear and concise communication across the business is what also led Kmart Australia to openly support team members sharing their stories with the rest of the business. Within Store operations pages, team members can post their stories within the forms provided. Store managers are notified of these stories via workflows and can view them within the live Intranet page before deciding to approve them for publishing, or choosing to return the stories to team members with proposed edits.
Team members rely on KiT, the CentricMinds Intranet software, as their number one source of information.
KiT was successfully integrated into the workplace as communication tool. The Homepage provides engaging, relevant and targeted content, easy navigation and the ability to find any document or content through the advanced search tools.
KiT Kmart Australia’s Intranet was tailored to provide a user experience that was on brand with Kmart Australia's recently launched national campaign. The warm and user friendly interface captures the positive spirit of Kmart Australia's successful retail culture.
“What we've been able to develop is a new Intranet with CentricMinds that will really allow us to grow into the future as Kmart Australia continues to evolve.”
