Retailing is the next big wave to hit the Indian sub-continent. With a population of 1 billion people and an economy growing at 8-9% year after year, spending is on an upswing. For retail chains local and global, this is the market to be. With abundant promise for sustained growth and momentum; everyone wants a share of the pie.

The Indian retail sector is so unique that transplanting western models and formats will not ensure success. What we need today is retailing the Indian way. Pricing, Merchandising, Franchising and Stocking models need to be thought about from an Indian perspective and probably regionally too.

Retailers in India need today an Indian retailing solution that has been built considering the quirks and characteristics of our large country, incorporating 'our' processes within software that is rugged, while being able to adapt to the multi faceted needs of today's retailers.

Retailers have an array of business process needs, ranging from in-store operations to customer relationship management, supply chain management, merchandise management, inventory, warehouse management, pricing, production, human resources, asset management, and financials.

Based on Ramco VirtualWorks, Ramco solutions for retail provide companies with the flexibility they need to rapidly respond to evolving corporate imperatives, regulatory changes, and market conditions. Rather than re-deploy enterprise systems as the company reacts to these changes, the underlying platform can leverage business process models to quickly compose new business assets for true “change on demand.”
