transform your supply chain.
Research shows that even a short disruption of 30 days or less has the potential of a 3-5% impact on an organisation’s entire EBITDA. But disruption isn’t going to go away, so how can retailers embrace the opportunities in their warehouses and tackle it head on?
Technology in supply chain management has enhanced dramatically in recent years, especially in the area of artificial intelligence and advanced analytics. Despite this, research has uncovered that only 40% of global retailers have the flexibility within their systems to model for different scenarios.
That’s where REPL Group comes in. Combining decades of industry experience with specialist technology skills, our consultants deliver results you need to stay competitive. Overcome your supply chain challenges with cutting-edge solutions to transform business operations and deliver exceptional customer service. Whether you are looking to develop a new supply chain strategy, conducting an end-to-end supply chain process overhaul, implementing a new technology or piloting an innovation project, REPL can help.
“The disruption that plagues supply chains in the modern day has been shaped by increasingly complex consumer demands, the shift to e-commerce, smaller pick volumes and the increasing disengagement of the workforce.”

That’s where workforce management (WFM) and labour management software (LMS) comes in. Retailers have long used these systems to control costs and boost productivity for frontline employees.
