In a competitive market, it’s crucial that you get products and accurate product information to the market as fast as possible. When you do, your customers will always have reliable product information when they need it, which increases your conversion rate and helps you make more sales. Simple’s RetailPath retail marketing platform helps you do this and more.  

Nowadays, customers want access to information in order for them to find and compare the best products for their unique needs and expectations. As a retailer, it’s your duty to give it to them. If you don’t, you simply won’t make the sale. Understandably, this could become challenging, especially as a product range grows.  

No matter if you sell products or market them, you thus need the right tool to help you manage your products, their descriptions, prices, icons, and how they appear on your promotional and marketing materials. Simple’s RetailPath retail marketing platform is designed to streamline and automate parts of this process, with the result that you’ll be more efficient and always provide your customers with accurate and reliable information.  

 To do this, RetailPath incorporates retail marketing product information management software that allows you to store and manage all product information. It also features retail promotion management that simplifies the processes of building and approving content as well as vendor onboarding that provides advanced product onboarding features.
