Supermarkets

SUPER MARGINS

The global trend for the profitability of supermarkets points to optimization of category management, human resources (cashiers, gondoliers, stockers), supplier management, planogram redesign, demand planning, shrinkage control, warehouse management and optimization of meat cuts to improve yields.

The consumer will continue to be influenced by advertising and in-store merchandising, generating an impact on impulse purchases (up to 20%), and triggering decision making at the point of sale (up to 80% of the purchase), so the retailer must remain dynamic and innovative in generating in-store profitability strategies.
