Retail

Today's retailers are facing an uphill battle: new sales and service channels continue to proliferate, brand value is increasingly important, customer expectations are skyrocketing, and consumer preferences continue to be extremely fickle. To survive in this time of extensive market change, retailers must be able to react quickly to changing market conditions and consumer preferences. Retailers must also be able to reach consumers while new products are in fashion to avoid excess inventory or the need for high markdowns.
