Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a critical aspect of running a successful retail company. It involves the coordination and management of all activities involved in the delivery of products to customers and the customer experience in store. For the retail sector this includes everything from monitoring the suppliers of products to make sure they work to your standards, to ensuring that the stores and distribution centres are properly maintained and cleaned by contractors meeting your requirements.
Health & Safety Compliance
The H&S (SSIP) element of SCM is crucial for retailers as the contractors will be in customer facing environments. Retailers want to work with approved and trusted contractors that can prove they have the relevant H&S processes and procedures in place to work safely when on client premises.
