I’m brainstorming use cases for Box Hubs for the retail space - beyond team Hubs like HR or marketing, what other business related use cases are you all testing with Box Hubs? 

Hey Katie! Great questions. Here’s a few ways that retail teams can leverage Hubs: 

  1. Store openings - Opening brick and mortar stores usually result in a lot of re-used assets and standard operating procedures. You can create a Box Hub as a centralized repository for the setting up a new space and setting up the assets 
  2. Vendor relationships - Retail deals with a number of partnerships in terms of sourcing materials and inventory. You can create a Box Hub with external collaborators that allow you to share product calendars, requests, catalogs, and more with your external partners and internal stakeholders 
  3. Brand/product development teams - Branding or re-branding products can be an exhaustive process, involving a number of different internal and external teams. Instead of relying on a single Box project folder to catalog all that information, you can spin up a Box Hub that will feature content from across your Box environment, creating a centralized project space for your teams. 

These are just a few ways that a retail organization can leverage Box Hubs, there are many more that will be organization/product specific. 


One of my retail customers is working on a product release process with Hubs ... many documents, many users internal/external, security requirements.  Another financial services customer exploring an M&A Hub to inquire about past acquisitions and transactions.  Another real estate customer testing a Hub for historical lease management contracts and transactions.


Use of Box Hubs for Company board content and meetings is another great use case.
