White Paper: Merchandising Optimization: A New Paradigm That Creates Greater Visibility And Profitability

Holding too much inventory is expensive; not having enough can lose the sale.

KEYS TO ENTERPRISE-WIDE PRODUCTIVITY, PROFITABILITY AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FOR SMALL TO MID-SIZE CHAINS AND SPECIALTY RETAILERS

Many mid-size chains,' specialty and smaller retailers' major struggle has been, and continues to be, their ability to see their inventory clearly. This lack of visibility becomes especially problematic in organizations with cross-channel retail operations. Mid-size companies operating in a number of countries in multi-channels have an even greater need for crystalline accuracy and global end-to-end transparency as far as their supply chain and merchandising capabilities are concerned.

No matter what kind or size of operation, all companies must have uncompromised visibility levels if they are to optimize their inventory investment via their merchandising, staff, activities and business processes.

What all retailers want is a way to successfully and most profitably complete the circle of the supply chain – procure; transact; replace. Mid-size retailers can no longer afford to get caught in this circle.
