The TPA Supply Chain Conference was designed by retailer and manufacturer supply chain executives for senior supply chain executives and has become a can't-miss Industry event. Through its rich content and networking opportunities, attendees have the opportunity to discuss effective collaboration and decision-making while learning about model practices that are designed to save companies time and money.

"We are delighted to work with the TPA and start a discussion on how collaboration is changing," said Guyot. "RSi is supporting over 1,000 retailer-manufacturer relationships and has identified a set best practices that tend to predict successful outcomes very effectively. We believe that collaboration should be a cornerstone of our industry: it has to stop being viewed as a series of projects and truly become business as usual."

RSi executives will be on-hand at booth number twenty five at the conference to share how collaboration and data sharing have transformed the retailer/supplier relationship, and how a collaborative approach to operational excellence drives better on-shelf availability, reduced out-of-stocks, improved customer satisfaction and increased sales.
