| While they have many
challenges in common, retail businesses are not all the same. Margin
maintenance and product availability are perpetual challenges for
most retailers. But some retailers face special challenges, with short
product life cycles or unique customer service models. It is increasingly
important to view the retail business as an integrated system. SCS
experience allows us to do just that.
SCS has worked with many major retailers to build
capability, avoid lost sales and minimize total costs. Our work
has included:
- Increasing customer fill rates
- Creating distribution channels
for unique product lines
- Diagnosing supply chain operations
- Strengthening supplier collaboration
- Streamlining outbound lane management
- Improving forecasting accuracy
- Optimizing inventory productivity
SCS consultants have been on the inside of
retail operations; we understand the factors that affect decision
quality and supply chain performance and we have the ability to
address each one of them.
