Retail & Logistics
Integration and operational cost reduction in focus
In the retail and logistics industry, networking has become progressively more important. The competition for logistics service providers is increasingly determined by the interfaces between carriers, harbours or airports. Those players who can provide transport services without deadlock, who guarantee short storage time and occupy little storage space are the ones who are successful. Therefore, the integration of processes has become the central focus for the retail and logistics industry, be it through standard software, e.g. for supply chain management or through own customised developments.
In the logistics sphere, SQS is the partner for successful integration. This is because most mistakes and costs arise when different systems, architectures and standards are consolidated. We ensure that the impact of all these factors are understood and de-risked accordingly. SQS uses methods which assure that time, cost and quality targets in IT projects are met.
In the retail marketplace, research shows that 21 % of future IT initiatives will target operational cost reductions. SQS methodology using automation and test asset re-use ensure cost savings of 25 % against testing, and 40 % time savings to test are achievable in many instances whilst ensuring that control remains with management. SQS has worked with many market-leading retail companies, like Dixons Group and Marks & Spencer, to provide testing initiatives that make a real difference.
