Our retail software solutions

Retail process improvement

Like so many other industries, retail has seen some fundamental changes in customer behaviour and buying habits, as the pandemic accelerated the move away from the high street to online shopping.

Most of us have returned to the supermarkets – although grocery home delivery remains popular – but for many other goods, online shopping is our first port of call. This is made easier for consumers with the Amazon Prime model of flat monthly fees for delivery and other benefits. There are also a myriad of other click and collect options from Amazon Lockers to free delivery to local brand branches – all dedicated to ensuring that the last mile is as seamless as it can possibly be.

Retail contract management

Retail has had to adapt at pace with newfound agility – creating a raft of new contractual arrangements to ensure streamlined online purchasing, delivery and return options, and compliance with consumer rights. As a result the number of contracts which retailers now have to deal with have increased exponentially, and threaten to dominate the retail landscape to the detriment of smooth supply chain, effective marketing and timely fulfilment.

Supplier contract management

Contract management software can help retailers move away from manual processes and provide automation that takes the pressure off the day-to-day contract management. Tailored specifically to help retailers, Contract Insight is Four’s contract management software of choice and we can offer retailers many years of experience across the retail industry.
