      AJ, tell me about the Staples "smarthome hub"

      I honestly have no clue what you're referring to. It's been a year and a half since my last stint at Staples and I've only been back two weeks. A TON has changed...still playing catch-up in learning all this new ****.

          Oh, you mean those office stores that are always empty, have crappy broken floors and ceilings like an old K Mart, and yet astonishingly stay open?

          Not all are like that but many are, I won't deny it.

            the mystique

            🙂

            I like how a compliments thread has degenerated into an AJ bashing thread. Way to go off-topic.

            Anyway, I'm British so won't be participating in the thread as we don't do this kind of thing. "Not bad, chap" is the closest I'd ever get to complimenting someone.

                I know a little about these but not necessarily our brand. Usually you replace your thermostat with a digital version that can be tapped into via a browser portal, etc. We don't sell these in-store, and Staples is currently working to rival Amazon in the online space so it's not surprising I haven't seen these.

                Our SKU system had been 6 digits since the company's founding in the 80s and they ran out of SKUs last year some time, so now it's up to 7 digits. Did you have any specific questions about them? It's designed so you can, usually from a smartphone, turn on things like your entryway lights, turn on/up the heat/AC before you get home, etc. You can also automate these things on a scheduling system. Pretty neat I think.

                      Just wanted to give a shout-out to the best boss I ever had, @Minion-Queen. The very close second is my original sales manager from Staples but Danielle still takes the cake.

                      Aww thank you AJ!

                          That seems like an unattainable goal.

                            Yeah, don't see that happening. At best, Staples will need to run..... on Amazon!

                                Yeah, I agree that it's a pretty lofty goal. However, that's who they are quoting as proof that they aren't a monopoly at this point with the recent acquisition.
