Why Speed to Shelf Execution Drives Retail Success

In today’s high-velocity retail environment, new product success depends on how quickly you can move from distribution center to shelf. Brands that launch quickly and capture early shelf presence are significantly more likely to succeed long-term. In fact, addressing new item on-shelf availability can help you grow sales by 3 to 5% every year.*
