Disruption in retail is not new, especially since the dawn of e-commerce and its customer reach. But the pace of change is now an order of magnitude faster, as Amazon.com has proven with its business model. The effect on the entire retail industry is magnified, from OEMs to retailers to distributors, and the entire value-chain in between. With consumers now starting the majority of product searches on Amazon, Google, Social Media networks, Alibaba, and other online sources, continuing with the same old strategies and methodologies no longer work. This unprecedented change brings many vast opportunities for those willing to offer new solutions sought by consumers. Our highly experienced, hands-on retail team, will work alongside you to help with this transition while guiding you to reinvent retail in the way you reach your customers.
