Leaders in Multi-Channel Retail
SUPERIOR RETAIL INDUSTRY ASSESSMENTS©
Clicks and Mortar routinely develops RFP’s for our retail clients, and we help to evaluate the vendor responses. Using the proprietary SuperiorRFP toolset, we’ve compiled a unique and powerful database on how major software packages meet the needs of retailers. The data is based on real RFP business requirement questions and actual responses from vendors.
In 2007 alone, over 40 software vendors answered over 15,000 RFP questions from Clicks & Mortar clients, and it is constantly being updated. We’re now mining that data for your benefit.
FOR RETAILERS:
The Superior Retail Assessment©
Do your business processes and software applications provide a competitive advantage to your business? Or a competitive disadvantage? Our metrics-based assessment will show how your applications stack up against the best retail technology solutions available today:
.
• How the functions and features of your systems compare to the leading retail packages? • Which packages are the easiest to configure and maintain? • What increased functionality and benefits you can expect if you replace your applications?
The Superior Retail Assessment provides business intelligence analysis to quantify the rationale for your application or re-platforming investments. This high-value service, based on real-world RFP information, is available to you at a fraction of the cost of reports from the major IT industry-watchers.FOR SOFTWARE VENDORS
