The year ahead: how retailers should prepare for Brexit

Retailers have been having a tough time lately. Almost daily, the papers are inundated with sorrowful valedictions to the industry’s fallen soldiers; the pain is acute. And with precisely a year to go before the UK leaves the EU, I suggest we pause today to consider the role of Brexit in these past developments and in future. Indeed, there is little doubt that the outcome of Brexit negotiations will have a significant impact on the general condition of the industry.

A changing environment…
Irrespective of personal opinion, we may all agree that Brexit has contributed towards an environment of economic uncertainty. And as inflation now exceeds wage growth with record levels of consumer debt, fuelled by the depreciation of the sterling, shoppers are increasingly reluctant to spend – particularly on non-food products or ‘non-essentials’.

Parallel to this trend, the structural shift to online has only contributed to the growing threat for bricks & mortar retailers. Whilst traditional stores have suffered the brunt of the storm, online retailers have proven more robust by satisfying consumer demands and expectations more easily. However, the question now transcends the simple maintenance of an online presence; consumers are instead demanding an experience from retailers, which many are failing to meet. And following in the footsteps of Airbnb and Uber, we are progressively seeing a drive towards an online retail experience that empowers the consumer.

…And an uncertain future…
Of course, we do not yet know what the exact effects of Brexit will be on retail supply chains. That said, it’s very possible that different trade agreements will apply concerning free movement of goods across borders, with different trade tariffs, regulatory standards and changes to customs regulation and import prices. Retailers will likely be faced with the binary choice of either absorbing additional costs within their supply chain, or to raise prices. Given consumer reluctance to spend, the latter is particularly unfavourable.

In addition, according to the British Retail Consortium, it’s predicted that Britain could lose around 6% of its retail workers should EU nationals not be able to work freely in post-Brexit UK. Retailers are therefore likely to suffer a skills shortage with regards to store management, customer experience support and more.

…Which demands positive action
To weather this storm and drive revenue, retailers must take positive action. This includes the establishment of full category assortments online, and the digitalisation and automation of the end-to-end supply chain to reduce operating costs. However, such action can prove difficult for retailers that are not digitally native.

Our product The Edge™ here enables retailers to meet today’s evolving consumer demands by offering an integrated extended range platform that supports dropship and marketplace operations, as well as flexible delivery options like click & collect. This ensures that retailers can keep pace with the fast-moving industry landscape, where consumers are increasingly expecting an intuitive digital experience.

And although we cannot predict the outcomes of Brexit negotiations and the associated implications for retailer supply chains, we can guarantee total supply chain visibility and control, to better identify and react to changes. Furthermore, our solution significantly grows revenue and improves efficiency, whilst reducing the cost to serve. Our clients are therefore much better placed to absorb any additional costs from increased tariffs or the likes thereof, without needing to increase product pricing.

The Edge™ also automates numerous labour-intensive processes, thereby mitigating the threat of a reduced workforce for retailers, and combined with proactive order status notifications, our clients have seen a considerably reduced need for customer service resources.

Going forwards
So, with only a year to go, there is an urgent need for retailers to reassess their supply chains to reduce the impact of Brexit in an already testing landscape. But retailers should choose wisely, as changes to existing arrangements and systems can prove costly and require long installation periods. In this respect, our platform offers retailers the perfect solution, as it works alongside current systems. All it requires is that retailers connect once.

And despite the current uncertainty, exciting times and opportunities lie ahead for those that are digitally capable. This is becoming particularly apparent to us at Virtualstock, as we provide our future-proofing solution to six of the top ten UK retailers (among others), with clear oversight of the market.

Because ultimately, we see it’s a question of survival of the fittest, and those who survive will undoubtedly reap the benefits.

I sense another tick up !

[soupdragon55] 29/3/2018 10:51

Into auction now.

As is Amedeo, but in a downward direction.
Medgold been in an upwards move the past few days.

Both are small fry though.

[professor pettigrew] 29/3/2018 10:47

No, they are not going out of business.

They have been subject to a seller, possibly CfA raising some extra cash, for the past couple of weeks or so, and the lack of news, plus the lack of a broker which is settled now, plus the usual childish nonsensical scare tactics from some of the morons on other threads.

Seeing as you only joined advfn yesterday, I'm not sure whether to take your comments seriously.

BREAKING NHS NEWS



JEREMY Hunt has announced that the national health service (NHS) is to be replaced by time, which heals all wounds at no cost to the taxpayer.

The health minister’s new scheme to beat the NHS crisis is being trialled in Northern constituencies and early projections suggest it will save the government billions.

He said: “You don’t need disinfectant, sterile gauze, a qualified nursing team and an expensive consultant.

"All you need is time.

“This traditional common-sense approach, relied on for Britons for the centuries before we joined the EU, will soon replace our malfunctioning NHS entirely.

Though of course private healthcare will still be available.

“After all, not only does time heal all wounds, time is also a great healer.

We’ve been foolish to try and compete.”

Dr Helen Archer, who works in a Birmingham A&E department, said: “Certainly it is true that after a 12 to 18 hour wait, up to 40 per cent of patients no longer require medical attention.

“However, there is a downside.”

What happened here, I remember this was .03p a while ago, are they going out of business or something?

[chinese investor] 29/3/2018 09:36

Plenty of Rubbish !

Slow and steady wins the race.
The 0.2p has been hit on the ask, and wouldn't be surprised to see 0.25p by the end of the week now, especially after tomorrow.
An share price of 1p would still only value LEG at around £22m.
Some stonking NHS contracts from VS could blow even that price out of the water, but for now quite happy with this healthy two-way trading.
Plenty of volume, and plenty of interest.
From little acorns, great oaks are built.

[professor pettigrew] 29/3/2018 09:28

A reasonable start. Slow and steady wins the race.

His massive wife sometimes posts on ADVFN and, reading between the lines, things don't look too rosy between the two of them.
I hope I'm wrong.

Morning all. I see that the real troll made another drunken appearance last night. Don't worry , I won't respond to him on here any more. He needs to get help.

A bright and breezy good morning to all genuine holders.

[carefreesid] 29/3/2018 07:34

Yes, agreed. Highly likely to be the first. I would imagine it will talk about the 'potential' of vs, and unicorns.

That'll be the Broker's Note !

I am expecting some more RNSs giving the impression that all is booming at leg towers, prior to the large discounted placing.
