BERWYN, Pa., April 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 4R Systems, Inc., a leading provider of advanced inventory and supply chain services that helps retailers increase profits by optimizing their inventory and related supply chain decisions, will be serving as lead sponsor for Knowledge@Wharton's High-Velocity Growth: The Retail & Consumer Goods Executive Summit.
