Success strategies for apparel retailers

Proving the authenticity of products has been a challenge to building consumer confidence for any brand. The rise of counterfeiting and illegal cloning have been a threat to retailers worldwide. Knowing what arrives in your distribution centre or store and then knowing what leaves should, in theory, give you an accurate inventory. However, boxes and crates are often misplaced & shopper behaviour leads to items turning up all over the store, making real-time location tracking a tedious task. Unlike a regular Walmart or Target store where each product has multiple sizes and variations, Luxury products are limited edition and often custom made; each misplaced product could potentially equate to loss in sale, customers and opportunities.
