Increase your profit margin and gain long-term sustainable competitive advantage.
The
global and competitive nature of the footwear industry
demands effective coordination and collaboration
across every aspect of the value chain.
Footwear manufacturers must evaluate and challenge
every business process to understand the interdependencies
across the retail supply chain, and to maximize
operational efficiencies and overall profitability.
Footwear retailers must focus on developing articulated
strategies for maximizing sales, margin and inventory
parameters.
Is Your Customer Buying For the Reasons You Think They Are?
Customers are changing how they wear shoes. Athletic
shoes are no longer just for athletics. They could
be a casual or status shoe. Hiking boots are not
just for hiking either. They are a staple in the
dress-casual workplace and crossover for general
weekend footwear. The change in customer taste,
use and expectation has resulted in retailers having
a tougher time creating the appropriate assortment.
Footwear retailers
have to find better ways to connect the assortment to
the customer while automating and streamlining processes
so they can get in front; therefore, optimizing
the customers' propensity to buy. The problem is further compounded
as more products enter the market, making accurate
assortment more difficult.
