Type: Round Table

Venue: SAP Cape Town 

Please join us for a round table breakfast in partnership with SAP and Decision Inc.

As a retailer, it’s more important than ever to be aware of the rapid changes happening in the business landscape and adapt accordingly. South African retailers have struggled over the past few years mostly due to the increasing competition from online retailers and challenging economic conditions. It can be difficult to keep up with the constant change and even harder to forecast for success.

As the retail landscape changes, so too must the strategies that retailers use to forecast future trends. In order to stay ahead of the curve, retailers need to be constantly adapting their forecasting strategy. This will allow retailers to better anticipate changes in consumer behaviour and trends. However, making this transition can be difficult, as it requires a lot of data and analysis.

Space for this event is limited, be sure to register early to save your spot. Don’t miss out!
