Retail and wholesale businesses are highly competitive and often times operate on thin profit margins. This industry is driven by customer demands, competition, regulatory compliance and cost of labor, all of which can impact a company’s bottom line. In delivering services to the retail industry, we find that successful businesses are those who manage inventory and scarce resources efficiently and deliver exceptional customer service.
