“In order for both retailers and vendors to be efficient with their inventory and cash flow, retailers are going to have to start sharing their inventory. The concept of sharing data in a quick and efficient manner through one central location, will make prices more competitive so you can offer the end consumer the best product at the best price. I think it’s the answer to the future.”
