Winning in Retail is Difficult Today
When Nancy thinks of shopping today, she wants faster, better, newer and cheaper; she also wants it “right now and right here.” A retailer who wants a share of Nancy’s wallet better be prepared.
To win a share of Nancy’s wallet, retailers have prioritized Omni Channel, Speed to Market and Supply Chain Agility/Flexibility. Great aspirations indeed but do capabilities exist to build and support these goals? The numbers below speak for themselves.
Retail is a challenging battleground, both physically and digitally. Retailers are battling on two fronts.
- Traditional: Competition amongst retailers
- Non traditional: Uberization and Amazonization of commerce, CPGs going direct etc.
