A large number of retailers are NOT suffering from the economic downturn. On the contrary, they are profitable, successful, and don't feel that they need to markdown everything to see movement of merchandise in their stores. That's what sustainable retailing is all about - minimizing "waste" like unnecessary carrying costs, inefficient check-out processes, lost employee productivity and maximizing profitability. Discover what successful retailers know, and learn how you can increase margins, grow revenue, lower their Total Cost of Ownership and achieve better performance across your different locations.
