Overcome common supply chain challenges
Mid-sized retailers face unique supply chain challenges. Often, this stems from a need for enterprise-level performance—without access to enterprise-level resources. SPS is here to guide you through the obstacles your business faces along the path toward peak performance.
The mid-market retailer dilemma
Retailers, distributors and grocers constantly balance operational constraints with growth demands. This makes it difficult to deliver the right product to the right place at the right time, even when the supply chain is running smoothly. Add today’s supply chain disruptions, and the task becomes nearly impossible.
Some specific pain points that we hear from our retail customers include:
Inefficient and manual operations:
Teams spend too much time on ordering and invoicing tasks instead of strategic work.
Limited visibility and control:
Retailers have no insight into shipments or supplier performance until problems arise.
Inability to manage business performance:
Management becomes a challenge with no way to track or improve business and supply chain partner outcomes.
High-cost, inefficient inventory:
Without predictability, retailers may see overstock or lost sales.
Inability to meet rising expectations:
Customers and partners demand more speed, accuracy and control, while scaling is costly.
