Our Value Proposition
Retail Systems Research (“RSR”) is dedicated to fostering an understanding between retailers and their business and technology partners in the retail ecosystem, and to help them work together more effectively to deliver sustainable value to consumers. Our experience and research have taught us that "selling more stuff" is an outcome of a “winning” mindset. Retail Winners don’t merely do what others do better. Winning is an outcome of set of strategic thinking and business processes that differ from the competition.
We believe our fact-based research reflects the state of the industry at large, and our deep domain expertise helps us separate the critical from the not-so-critical. Because of our real-world experience, we speak “Retail” – not “analyst speak”. Retailers who compare themselves to our survey respondents get a sense of opportunities both taken and missed, and the technology enablers available to support business health and growth. Technology companies learn what’s important to retailers and their trading partners- and what’s not. All our research is available for reading free to qualified retailers and their business partners.

Retail Winners Series
Much of the data gathered as part of our benchmark surveys doesn’t make it to the major report. Retail Winner reports use both published and unpublished benchmark data, supplemented with case studies to highlight how technology supports business growth and change in real life. As always, improvements in key performance indicator are used to highlight business value received.
