Retail knowledge management is a centralized platform where your store teams, staff, and managers can log in to access important resources—like training materials, product guides, policies, and store updates. It keeps all essential information in one place, so your team doesn’t have to search through emails or shared drives. This helps everyone stay informed, work more efficiently, and deliver a consistent, high-quality customer experience.
Softr makes it easy to build a retail knowledge management portal that matches the way your retail operation works. You can connect data sources like Airtable, Notion, HubSpot, or even SQL, and set up a portal where store associates and managers can access updates, store documents, complete training, and find answers—all in one organized hub.
You don’t need to code anything. You can start with a template or create your own layout, decide who can see which materials, and brand the portal to match your company’s look. It’s quick to launch, simple to update, and flexible to adapt to changing retail needs, ensuring your team always has the right information at their fingertips.
Your retail knowledge management portal can include a wide range of features tailored to how your store teams operate. Common features include:
\- User logins – so each staff member or manager can access the resources relevant to their role
\- Custom dashboards – to show training progress, store announcements, or key updates
\- Forms – for policy acknowledgements, feedback, or requests
\- Document sharing – so teams can download and view product manuals, guides, or SOPs
\- Search and filters – to help staff quickly find the information they need
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to organize FAQs, process steps, or task lists
\- Comments or status updates – to keep everyone up to date on changes and news
\- Charts – to visualize training completion, store performance, or team metrics
\- Calendar view – for tracking training sessions, store events, or important deadlines
\- Permissions and roles – so different teams only see what’s relevant to them
All these features can be built using Softr’s drag-and-drop blocks, so you don’t need to write any code. And as your retail business evolves, it’s easy to update or add new features as needed.
No coding is required. You can build your retail knowledge management portal entirely using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from how your resources are organized to user permissions can be customized without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple retail stores or teams in a single retail knowledge management system. Each user only sees the resources and data assigned to them, based on their login and role. This is useful for retail organizations overseeing several store locations or departments, as it helps keep information organized and accessible for the right people.
Softr supports a wide range of data sources for your retail knowledge management needs. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also bring in documentation or data from other systems using the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one. You can integrate multiple data sources into the same knowledge management system and display them side by side—so your retail knowledge base, for example, can pull in data from both Airtable and Notion at once. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, so any updates in your system or data source stay in sync automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how your retail staff experience the knowledge management system. You can customize the layout, navigation, and content to match your brand and operational workflows. Each page or block can be shown or hidden based on who’s logged in, so every store, team, or staff member sees only the information relevant to them.
You can also set up different user roles, such as store manager, department head, or associate—and define exactly what each role can view or edit. For example, store managers can access all store policies and reports, while associates can view only training materials and procedures. You can also create tailored views by filtering information based on the logged-in user or location.
This level of customization is especially useful when you’re managing multiple stores or teams in the same app. It helps keep the experience clean, secure, and tailored for every retail employee.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to bring your documentation from somewhere else to start building your retail knowledge management system with Softr. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is built into the platform and integrates perfectly with any application you build.
But if you already have retail data or documentation in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those too. You can also use the REST API connector to bring in data from other sources. Either way, you have full control over how your retail knowledge is structured and displayed in your system.
Yes, you can fully white-label your retail knowledge management platform in Softr. You can use your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and a custom domain to make your knowledge base feel like a natural extension of your retail organization. You can also remove all Softr branding, so your team and staff only see your company’s identity throughout the platform.
Yes, you can. Softr gives you a lot of flexibility to control both the design and layout of your retail knowledge management platform. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and page structure to match your retail brand. You can also choose how each page is laid out, decide which blocks go where, and set what different users see when they log in.
To display your knowledge and resources, you can add different types of blocks depending on your needs:
\- Table blocks – to show structured data like store policies, product catalogs, or training materials
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight things like store procedures, employee resources, or quick-reference guides
\- Detail View – to show one resource at a time, such as a product information sheet
\- Forms – for collecting feedback or suggestions
\- Charts – to show analytics or internal KPIs
\- Calendar blocks – to display key dates, training sessions, or promotions
If your content or design needs change later, it’s easy to go back and make updates right in the visual builder.
Softr is built with security in mind. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your retail knowledge management apps are hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. Softr apps also give you full control over who can see and access information in your knowledge platform. You can set up role-based permissions, manage users directly within your data source, set visibility rules, and apply global restrictions to protect sensitive retail data across your entire app.
For knowledge management connected to external data sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your data—it just displays it in real time based on your access settings. You’re always in control of your data and who can view or edit it.
Softr also follows industry best practices for authentication, access control, and platform monitoring to help keep your information safe.
You can get started for free. Softr’s Free plan lets you publish one retail knowledge management app with up to 10 users and 2 user groups. It also includes support for all standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more.
If your knowledge platform needs more users or features, you can explore the paid plans on Softr’s pricing page: <http://softr.io/pricing>
Softr is built to make it easy to create fully functional, user-facing apps—like retail knowledge management platforms, store portals, and resource hubs—without needing to write code or rely on developers. What sets it apart is how quickly you can go from idea to working app, and how well it connects with your existing data sources.
Unlike some no-code tools that focus only on mobile apps or are more developer-oriented, Softr is designed for non-technical retail teams who want full control over layout, user experience, and permissions. You can build on top of real-time data from tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Softr Databases, or SQL, and create secure, branded knowledge platforms that your team or store associates can log into.
You can customize everything visually—from the content and design to who sees what. And because Softr includes features like user roles, forms, conditional logic, and API support out of the box, you don’t need to patch together multiple tools to launch a polished retail knowledge management solution.
Yes. Softr supports a wide range of integrations so you can connect your retail knowledge management platform to the rest of your tech stack. You can sync with tools like Slack for internal communication, automate tasks using Zapier, Make, and N8N, and even integrate with HR or POS systems if needed. Softr also supports REST API and webhooks for more advanced workflows.
Whether you need to send data to another platform, trigger automations based on team actions, or display information from other systems, you can build it into your knowledge management platform—without writing code.
