Shortened shelf life of retail products, from fashion to the latest toy, and unpredictable swings in consumer demand, can make forecasting and planning difficult. You face cost pressures from retailers to keep prices low. More SKUs add complexity as does the urgency to meet your retailer customer’s requirements with the goal to provide a superior shopping experience for consumers, regardless of channel.
