PUDO technology showcased at STORE 2018; Retail Council of Canada’s two-day retail conference
PUDO Inc. exhibited at the Retail Council of Canada’s annual two-day retail conference this past week in Toronto, Ontario, introducing the company’s technology and associated retail solutions to over 2,500 delegates and presenters.
“Retail best practices are changing by the minute, most particularly those that relate to online experience, purchase, and exchange protocols and policies,” says PUDO CEO Kurtis Arnold. “It made sense for us to be on the conference floor, armed and ready to provide retail relief in the form of suggestions tailored to each company’s unique circumstance, and from what the team reported back, PUDO technology was on point and well received.
Conference themes this year centered around customer satisfaction, moving quickly to stay ahead of trends, delivering delight at every step of the retail experience, and the inevitability of going global.
“The PUDO suite of solutions delivers at every level discussed during the conference, and we have a fabulous opportunity to provide turn-key assistance to retailers, many of whom are running on fumes just trying to stay viable in the most difficult and competitive environment the sector has seen, post-recession.”
Traditional retailers operate on relatively small margins that rely on more-or-less predictable fixed costs of goods sold. The vagaries of online shopping delivery, exchange, returns and write-offs have thrown predictability out the window, exposing retailers to unsustainable losses.
“These losses are magnified by marketplace giants like Amazon, eBay, and others diluting brand value and standard MSRP. PUDO can offer some stability and predictability in parcel delivery, exchange and return costs, to help retailers lower their exposure and elevate their bottom line.”
PUDO offers value to all three categories of retailers selling online — namely to traditional bricks-and-mortar retailers selling also online; to retailers who built their businesses specifically for the online ecosystem; and hybrid retailers who are challenging both. Retailer feedback, requests, and information-sharing gathered at the conference will be followed up on, and used to grow the PUDO network.
“We are pleased to have participated in STORE 2018 and look forward to developing many promising new relationships and opportunities,” concludes Arnold.
