Vendor Management

Trust. But Verify.
Maintaining appropriate assortments and meeting customer demand is a challenging assignment at every level. All stores have to be sure vendors deliver orders accurately, on time and in compliance with contractual agreements. In addition, national retailers need to be able to track variations in price points, promotions and product mixes at different locations.
