The retail and wholesale industries have never been more fragmented – or fractured – than they are today. From discount warehouse clubs to upscale specialty stores, corner convenience chains to mega e-commerce sites, buyers are better informed, less loyal, and highly cautious about discretionary spending. Organizations are striving to balance product, price and service sensitivities, while protecting margins; to ensure inventory availability while maintaining reduced carrying costs; and to deliver favourable omni-channel experiences, while streamlining daily operations at all levels of the enterprise. Now more than ever information must be leveraged in new ways to gain competitive advantage and renew stability in these uncertain times.
