The format is a sharp, focused one, concentrating on surfacing key differences, inflexions and considerations.
The morning is split in two supplier groups. Each supplier has only 20 minutes to make their points of difference and distinction clear.
There is then a chaired Q&A panel to draw out the questions that help determine the ‘right answer’ for you.
We are respectful of your time and so will not allow ’standard sales pitch’ presentations. Rather, we’ll make the pitches, white papers and generic content available to all delegates for desk research at your leisure.
Our editorial team will capture delegate questions in advance, and also pose, aggregate and publish our questioning of the presenters in advance.
Our aim is to make this morning a fast-paced, intensive and useful one, allowing plenty of time to discuss questions with the presenters and other delegates.
How to approach procurement. Each company, as well as the opening presentation and chaired panels, will seek to draw out the key questions and approaches to procurement. What questions should you have asked yourself, your colleagues and your suppliers? What are the key issues to consider before choosing, during implementation and then in-life?
To supplement this insight you’ll be provided with the full data and presentation packs, but we won’t confuse ‘quantity of powerpoint’ with ‘insightful tips’.
The market in fulfilment and logistics solutions is changing rapidly. New competitors revise their offering and overleap established players; market leaders add capability, usability and cost-effective options; some features have become ’standard issue’ whereas others could give a competitive edge for a period.
This intense half-day format will give you both insight, briefing and a chance to meet with other retailers. It will give you either a fast-track to create your own commercial procurement process, or even allow you to benchmark your existing or intended supplier against the market’s best offerings.
The event is open to retailers only.
Managers responsible for procurement, or in the functional area we’re covering are very welcome.
