Retail Technology Roadmap

First class retail technology planning delivers huge benefits by encouraging a focus on the investments that will deliver the most value. An essential component of this planning is a clear view of which retail applications will be required to support the business over the next three years, of how they will fit together, and of the business benefits they will deliver.

Javelin Group is Europe's leading firm of retail and ecommerce consultants. Over years of retail and ecommerce technology planning, we have developed a practical approach to answering the following questions

  • Which applications should we change? When?
  • Enhance or replace? Bespoke, ERP, or packages?
  • Which specific solutions should we select?
  • What delivery roadmap? What costs/timeframe?
  • How will our applications map look in three years' time?
  • What business value will this deliver?

Javelin Group has delivered 15+ retail technology roadmaps in three years, each with good results. This means that we bring deep knowledge of best practices in retail enterprise architecture, and know all major retail/ecommerce applications (EPOS, MMS, WMS, ERP...). And we are independent and technology neutral.

If you would like to discuss your retail technology requirements, please email Simon Evetts or call him on +44 (0)20 7961 3200.
