Market
Global opportunity for sales increase is 500B. From this amount retail management is ready to share 5-7% of extra revenue that is 25-30B figure.

SAM (Europe) is 100B for retail revenue increase potential and 5-8B is the market for the service provider like us.
Problem or Opportunity
Retail suffer from the fierce e-commerce competition. Customers become very sensitive to service. Margins shrink. The whole retail business process should be revised.
