INTEGRATING MERCHANDISING WITH PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND SOURCING IS THE NEXT CHALLENGE
Merchants are challenged by factors they cannot control. More then ever, new products must be brought to market, faster, at lower cost, using real data from past performances, while anticipating needs before they must be met and delivering them efficiently. Line Plan Management is a core competency for merchants today.
With the introduction of MERCHANDISING STUDIO™, Life Plan Management is elevated to a collaborative partnership between members of the development chain. MERCHANDISING STUDIO™ brings together people and information and supports key lifecycle stages and processes of product development
With MERCHANDISING STUDIO™ Merchants will assume accountability for their team effectiveness by supporting them with repeatable and sustainable best practices. Cost and speed are affected, and relationships are grounded in behaviors that support economic responsibility and respect for margin on both sides of the Development Chain.
