UNANIMOUS<br />

RETAIL<br />

PRECEDENCE<br />

Africa’s retail environments are some of the toughest in the world,<br />

given that 95% of the landscape is still made up of Traditional Trade<br />

outlets. The sheer quantity of diverse outlets makes identifying,<br />

reaching and activating in-store consumer demand, a daunting task.<br />

Not surprising then that across the 26 Sub Saharan Africa countries,<br />

business priorities for the next 12 months are fairly common. The<br />

overwhelming shared denominator across companies and countries<br />

is the challenge of Route to Market to ensure optimal Distribution,<br />

together with overall Retail Execution and efficient Supply Chain<br />

Management.<br />

Following this is an ongoing need for deeper Business Insight<br />

and Measurement, improved Stock Management and Consumer<br />

Understanding to build demand.<br />
