This research is the result of multiple face to face meetings with Indian retailers and a month long survey which was circulated to retail professionals around the world to understand what impact a localized mix could have in their topline fulfillment.
The report lists the key observations at a global level and tries to identify how Indian retail rates in comparison.
Key conclusions from the report include:
* Retailers across the globe are struggling with shrinking top lines
* For a store's success, merchandise mix is the second most critical factor after location
* Localized assortments helps boost sales volumes
* Store clustering and mix standardization form the basis of assortment planning
* Assortment plans need to be benchmarked against regional brands
* Backward integration of store requirements is critical to prevent bottom line depletion
* Inventory visibility across the chain is required to keep ageing under control
