A Retail Execution Platform (REP) enables retail organizations to effectively plan and execute in-store retail strategies. The platform also allows retailers to assess the overall execution of their strategies and make potential improvements to maximize profitability. In addition to increasing store sales, the platform assists organizations in unlocking newer ways to maximize revenue in order to maintain a competitive advantage.
Another factor driving the adoption of REP platforms is sales from physical stores. Even though e-commerce is on the rise, retail sales from physical stores still account for a large portion of total sales. Hence, many retail organizations are gearing up to adopt mobile, AI, machine learning, IoT powered in-store technologies such as retail execution platforms to continuously monitor customer touchpoints, potential sales, and SKUs.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the supply chain and the retail industry. Organizations are finding planning, collaborating, and gaining visibility extremely difficult in this dynamically changing environment. Similarly, organizations are facing difficulties in managing multi-tier operations, inventory, transactional, and operational risk. Therefore, many users are looking for a single network platform that can help them to seamlessly communicate, collaborate, design unified plans, manage & monitor the process and operational workflows, exchange data with a single source of truth, multi-system integration, and offer end-to-end transparency to mitigate operational risk.
