ETP International: Getting it Right in Retail with Stable, Sustainable and Scalable Innovations

By

One of the persistent issues retailers face is in finding a solution that addresses their business pain points and yet has the capability to constantly evolve and keep up with the fast changing technologically savvy consumer. Most often the demands of management and supply chain systems do not synchronize to ensure that retailers can get their merchandise strategy to work. Lacking the necessary planning systems and tight integration most solutions are bound to over-complicate and under-deliver.
