Supply chain characteristics of Retail industry are different from any other industry given the type of products, volumes, and the nature of goods movement.
Also, customer expectation and different causal factors affect the industry like none other.

Add to that different channels to cater to different target segment and product movement between channels, the complexity multiplies.
