From my understanding the company owns small convenience stores across Somerset which is located in the United Kingdom. Christina discusses how Radstock has partnered with Celtech to implement a new retail system to improve the overall efficiency of the company, The new system provides real-time information about their sales, stock, and cash flow through out all Radstock stores. This system provides Radstock with the most recent updated information. This helps improve the management of the company where they can instantly what has change and allowing them to react quickly to it. Christina also discusses how the new system can be used for marketing purposes in ways that target and personalize promotions to a certain demographic. This aspect can help draw in future consumers as well as create a sense of loyalty amongst current. Regardless of how it helps the company, it also benefits their consumers. There is a feature that allows customers to check what is in stock and click products they would like to purchase. From there the chosen then prepares their items and makes sure it is ready for them to pick it up. I am interested to see how their sales have grown since the use of this new system. This could potentially help them to expand in to a larger demographic allowing to open new stores and grow their business.
