Observations From NRF
3. Optimizing sales and profits in a multichannel world is difficult, but doable. Multichannel is multichallenging. For inventory to contribute, its share will require complete inventory optimization not only by channel but also by location — right down to the individual stores, distribution centers and even supplier-held inventory.
It's a big job, but for inventory planners who are innovative enough to meet their customers’ needs, regardless of the channel the customer has chosen and the complexities involved in optimization, the rewards will be there.
