As a retail consulting industry leader, RPE partners with multiple merchandising and supply chain software and hardware companies and works with retailers to determine the most appropriate solution to meet unique business needs for every level of the supply chain, including:

-PLM

"We live in a more complex omni-channel world and customers expect a seamless shopping experience," said Cliff Epstein, president, RPE. "Retailers must deliver with systems offering the functionality and adaptability to deliver across all channels."

Maintaining and upgrading legacy systems is one of the most difficult challenges retail executives face today. Outdated and heavily customized systems on multiple platforms are often less secure and difficult to manage, resulting in higher costs and less effectiveness. Modern systems offer several benefits including vertical integration, single source of information, real-time data, improved security, scalability and configurability with a path for upgrade.
