Store INC:
a new sustainable businessmodel
in Retail

The global retail market is digitizing at a rapid pace. New technologies offer brand owners the opportunity to significantly improve their brand's value chain worldwide. Store INC introduces a new business model where the brand owner retains ownership of the stores' inventory and layout, allowing the retailer to fully focus on the local market and their own customer network. Store INC is a ‘white label’ service organization that structurally optimizes the collaboration between brand owners and professional retailers in an omnichannel environment. Store INC acts on behalf of brand owners, retail organizations, and individual entrepreneurs.

 

We are able to achieve this through strategic partnerships and innovative AI solutions supported by manualization and standardization, promoting operational excellence across the entire chain for all parties involved.

Shifting balances: reordering the value chain

The digitization of the retail market has a disruptive impact on existing relationships in the value chain worldwide. This leads to significant changes in product distribution, cash flows, and relationships between chain partners. Existing business models are under pressure as a result, but digitization also creates great opportunities.  

Through innovation and the elimination of redundant functions, supply chain collaborations can be improved. This reordering of the value chain will offer the global retail market, especially the physical distribution channel, a sustainable and vital perspective.

Data-driven efficiency: optimization
of product distribution

Information and data development among brand owners is evolving rapidly, partly due to the increased possibilities in D2C, e-commerce, and AI. With the latest technologies, it can be precisely mapped out which products should be available at which location and at what time for optimal sales results. With this knowledge, global product distribution can be optimized at every level, such as matching supply and demand, composing assortments, balancing online/physical sales, real-time delivery options, and determining the ideal price.  

Store INC enables brand owners to fully focus on their key competencies. This also applies to the retailer, who can entirely focus on their customers, both within the physical walls of their own store and related omnichannel services. In this way, Store INC promotes a win-win situation in the value chain.

Store INC's Development Principles

Store INC consistently applies the following principles:

  • Each partner in the chain does what they are good at.
  • Elimination of redundant functions in the value chain.
  • Manualization and automation of workflows.
  • Profitability at the last link in the chain.
