A Comprehensive Resource for Trading Partner Information

Modeled after popular social networking sites, the Retail Universe℠ is an online community for trading partners in the retail supply chain. The Retail Universe is designed to facilitate relationships and communications between all members of the retail ecosystem.

For example, a supplier can use the directory to promote its capabilities to potential retail customers. A retailer can engage potential vendors in online sourcing conversations and exchange marketing information to streamline buying decisions. The Retail Universe can also be used by 3PLs, carriers and other trading partners to better market themselves to potential supply chain partners and new customers.
