INDUSTRIES / RETAIL
Infor brings agility to global retailers' supply chains, labor, and inventory.
Retail
When a retailer’s greatest asset is getting new ideas to consumers quickly, companies can’t afford to let technology slow them down. Instead, it must help address key industry issues. Here are some key challenges and goals that Infor helps its customers address every day.
Need for speed from concept to consumer
Full price selling periods are shrinking; product development and assortment creation must be faster.
Sourcing diversification
Risk diversification and shifting tariff policies require flexible approaches to sourcing products.
Fulfillment complexity
Next-day delivery and curbside pick-up require specialized types of labor and positioning inventory closer to the customer.
Margin compression
Design assortments and collections must maintain lifecycle margin despite price/promotion pressure and increasing costs to serve.
Talent resiliency
Constantly changing market conditions require an adaptable, always learning workforce.
Customer success
With Infor Talent Science, Shoe Carnival replaced fewer employees and simplified back-office hiring processes by reducing turnover, improving training, and boosting internal promotions.
