Retail
Generating growth, enhancing loyalty with adaptive retailing
Heightened customer expectations. Increased globalization. Large-scale consolidation and convergence. No industry faces as much change as retail. Yet with these intense market pressures come new opportunities: business process and technology transformations allow retailers to continuously adapt and evolve their supply chains. Store level transformations establish competitive differentiation by improving customer service and meeting customers' multi-channel expectations. The result: those that successfully implement adaptive strategies and enabling technologies thrive in this new retail frontier and dominate the list of top 100 retailers in North America.
This "reshaping of retail" requires the full transformation of IT infrastructures to address real-time information needs in areas such as pricing, inventory and risk management. It also requires the adoption of adaptive technologies in key functional business areas such as planning and allocation and merchandise management. By assessing internal competencies against their vision of the future, retailers can implement the appropriate architectures and frameworks needed to achieve competitive advantage.
