Market Overview
by ehsan on May 25, 2007

In the last fiscal year, Marks and Spencer spent 114 million euros on supply chain related technology, a substantial increase over the 39 million euros the previous year.
Marks and Spencer has been one of the most aggressive testers and adopters of RFID in the retail supply chain. It said it is making these strong investments in RFID and point-of-sale systems "to support the future growth of the business and improve the customer experience in store."
It has also built new distribution centers for its general merchandise business.
Comments SC Digest, "Across the board, we're seeing companies get more aggressive in their investments in supply chain. For example, in retail we've recently seen companies like Home Depot and Williams-Sonoma announce a substantial investment in their supply chain technology and infrastructure."
This is clearly a trend as more companies understand the necessity of supply chain excellence, and frankly need to keep pace with competitors in the market, according to SC Digest.
