Context
• Despite retail industry consolidation…

– Operating complexity is up
• Despite progress in supply chain effectiveness
since 1996…

Implication
• The RCP industry presently suffers from a near
absence of INTER-organizational solutions
capable of supporting a high-level of store
merchandising (ISI) competency.
• While new offerings are coming to market,
early-mover opportunity is far from closed.

potential financial rewards.
