Innovative trading for complex categories
Retail is tough; so retailers need to take every opportunity to maximise efficiency and minimise waste, especially in complex non-core categories that are typically harder to run profitably. EBR is an efficient new trading model designed to be commercially net neutral on implementation to both retailer and supplier.
Robust data governance and integrity oversight locks in margin. Whilst intuitive tech strips out process on the shop floor. When efficiently combined the wrapper of data and tech’ eradicates shrink, and preserves profitability.
This innovative trading model is already proven with major retailers like Sainbury’s and Waitrose on the notoriously difficult magazine category.
Through the EBR model, rascal has delivered simplified process, significantly reducing labour, switching the focus from loss prevention to growth and category sustainability.
