SCM: Supply Chain Management: The process of planning, implementing, and controlling the operations of the supply chain to satisfy customer requirements as efficiently as possible.

In recent years, large companies have shut down their on-site physical company stores. A large tire manufacturer with over 1,000 employees experienced nominal success with their on-site store for their employees. Unfortunately, the upkeep and personnel required was too demanding. Key personnel within the company were involved in procurement and retailing promotional merchandise (not a core competency). As purchasing spun out of control, store hours became difficult to maintain with a limited staff. With so many key personnel tied up in retail merchandising, the whole project seemed to drain massive amounts of opportunity costs.

Yet the demand for the brand’s merchandise remained high.

A Brief History: In the 16 billion dollar promotional industry, company stores are on the rise. Printing companies, embroidery companies, direct-mail firms and others involved in corporate identity are racing to provide online management tools for materials because it is one of the fastest growing segments in each market. The reasons for the demand are simple: speed and priorities.
