It’s a wonderful thing.”

“Deputy and Ace Hardware share an important philosophy when it comes to people,” said Steven Powers, Global President at Deputy. “We understand that empowering everyone to ‘act like an owner’ motivates individuals to be more present in their roles and deliver a world-class experience that keeps customers coming back again and again.

“At Ace Hardware, it is important to streamline operations as much as possible to continue delivering on our Helpful promise,” said Andy Enright, VP Retail Development at Ace Hardware. “Deputy will help by providing an easy to use, data-driven approach to optimize schedules, tasks and ultimately spend more time serving our customers.”
