Selling Retail Success

The success of retail stores is mainly based on profitability through optimal category management, product negotiation and purchasing, inventory management, sales force productivity and efficient store operations.

The main challenge for retailers is to ensure the profitability of each point of sale. The operation of each store can become complex due to the high volume of items offered and the logistics required for the end consumer to find the desired product. As customers are constantly influenced by advertising and in-store merchandising, retailers are required to continually seek innovation and dynamism to increase impulse buying.

Product administration and management must guarantee the profitability of each SKU, encompassing definition, display, promotion and discount management, among other factors.
