The retail industry is facing significant challenges due to the increasing cost factor associated with the large supply chain. A supply chain refers to the network of suppliers, manufacturers, and retailers involved in the production and distribution of a product. As the retail industry expands globally, the supply chain becomes more extensive, making it difficult to manage and control costs. Most consumers still like to analyze and compare products by going to an exclusive brand outlet (EBO) or a multi-brand outlet (MBO). Customers typically visit any physical store before making a final purchase since live demonstrations, in-person product viewing, handling, and experience are crucial and impactful at the time of purchase.
