Concept
Pacer organizes the to-do lists for multiple projects and implementations in one place. It eliminates numerous spreadsheets and emails to simplify the communication of what needs to be done. Each task references the what, when, who, and how, so your team can stay aligned with brand initiatives and guest expectations.
