Quickborn Consulting publishes a whitepaper Improved Retail Performance through Merchandise Planning

April 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Retail merchandise planning is an incessant struggle to balance the trends of the merchandise and stores while meeting the financial objectives of the company in efforts to maximize profits and drive improvements. Poor merchandise decisions can lead to lower revenue and gross-margins, lower sell-thru and high levels of inventory at low service levels.
Retail merchandising software reduces – or in the best case eliminates – guesswork, helping retailers to plan and execute merchandise operations and to see the impact of their decisions to better plan future merchandising strategies.
