Retail & Distribution

As the market grows in uncertainty, understanding consumer needs has become extremely difficult. The period of “everyone wanting the same thing” is over, and consumers’ likes and tastes are diversifying. On the other hand, the increased availability of the Internet has enabled consumers to easily obtain, from all over the world, detailed product information, know experts’ opinions on various products, and learn what are hot in the market. They can now find out in an instant where they can buy what they want at the cheapest price, which poses to dealers and distributors greater difficulty of retaining customers. In addition, it is now a common practice to shop online or obtain products through Internet auctions, and this has led to the demise of some of the traditional business practices and distribution systems. It is now time to get an insight into the coming future and redefine the raison d'etre of distribution and services.
