What If Your RMS Needs Tweaking?
You probably read this title and thought, “retail management – RMS system ALWAYS need to be adjusted,” and you’d be right. There are too many variables to get stuck in a rut and stay profitable in retail.
For instance, the Federal Trade Commission is hosting a series of seminars on Emerging Consumer Privacy Issues and they just looked at mobile location tracking. If you heavily invest in software that tracks your customers’ buying habits in the store, how will you tweak it for potential opt-outs or unseen restrictions that show up down the road? The technology is usually going to come before the reactionary legislation. Retailers have always tried to keep track of customers, but today there are a lot more ways to do it.
The next seminar, on Alternative Scoring Products, meets March 19, 2014. This is another facet of retail marketing that didn’t exist in its current form a few decades ago. As retailers look for efficient ways to increase sales, technology is a logical way to collect, compile, analyze, and utilize data. But as the use expands there will be adjustments — tweaking — to get balance between privacy, permission, and profit.
This issue makes the whole idea of support services one you need to consider when choosing a software package. Your business fluctuates in response to many factors and your software should be able to adapt, but most retailers don’t have time to figure out how to adapt it.
