In our previous blog post, we have discussed 3 key practices for retailers to effectively manage their inventory. Let's find out what the final 4 are.

Perhaps, nowadays, there is hardly anybody in Viet Nam who has not heard of The Gioi Di Dong Joint Stock Company (English name: Mobile World JSC).

The competition between retailers is getting harder and tighter since the appearance of online sellers.

Perhaps, nowadays, there is hardly anybody in Viet Nam who has not heard of The Gioi Di Dong Joint Stock Company (English name: Mobile World JSC). Founded on 3rd March 2004, applying the e-commerce model, MWG earned its first amount of profit after only seven months of operation.

Since 2003, the e-Commerce battlefield has been witnessing an expanding invasion of a complicated method of retailing – Omni-channel.

Mobility technology has enabled brick-and-mortar retailers to process transactions from anywhere in the store for more than a decade, leading many to predict the death of traditional POS.

Starbucks, Amazon and Zara are undoubtedly global market leaders in the retail industry. Although their products differ from one another, the success they gained in 2015 teaches us some lessons. Knowing and understanding the factors behind these successes gives us the opportunity to learn and apply them, and maybe, someday it’s time for your business to shine.

Digital takes an important role today in every operation across industries; we can do almost everything using any digital devices. Emails, mobile apps, computers have made it easy for us to do almost everything we would like to.
