There is a curve ahead in the retail and wholesale road to success. - Collis Williams, Eagle
There is no doubt in any progressive-minded entrepreneur that there is a curve ahead in the retail and wholesale road to success. The progressives are already making adjustments.
There is no doubt that the advent of e-commerce is taking a swipe at the in-store retail sales market. What’s even more interesting is the fact that some of these sales are lost to the very suppliers of the same product these retailers are trying to sell. It's a double-edged sword.
It is with eagle eye that we witness the evolution and repurposing of the retail space. It is with eagle eye that we witness the evolution of other-worldly supply chain software solutions, which provide a platform for e-commerce, at a level never seen before. It is with eagle eye that we witness the reduction of the real estate and capital needed to fulfill the same revenue generation. However, it is with boldness that progressive and innovative-minded entrepreneurs make the shift before it's too late. After all, as Doug Stephens the Retail Prophet opines in his article 'The Future of Retail is the End of Wholesale' - gone are the days when we stacked them high and watch them fly!
