With more retailers commissioning in-store themed events and promotions, in-store logistics can support the preparation, planning, material set up and take-down of these events. And when your stock can be changed over more quickly, you can make more money, more quickly. After all, instead of removing items from boxes and taking off the packaging, your people could be spending their time out in the front of the store, selling.
