All rights reserved. 1 2 3 4 5 Introduction How Multiple Systems Fall Short Be Careful What You Ask For When One is the Answer From Multiple Solutions to One WHEN ONE IS GREATER THAN THREE When you speak with most retail real estate and store development executives, they recognize that the planning, acquiring and managing of their companies' real estate assets plays both a foundational and strategic role in their organization's success. For a retailer to prosper, their stores need to be situated in locations that essentially guarantee sales success, they need to operate efficiently, and they need be viewed in the context of other locations – both their own and competitors'. The challenge retailers face is that the solutions available to address the various areas of the real estate and store development lifecycle have traditionally been separate and disjointed. Vendors sell predictive analytics solutions, GIS solutions or store development execution solutions – and attempts to make these three systems work together fail to address the numerous and intricate dependencies they have on one another. Attempts to bring these solutions together often disappoint, as they not only fail to address the core real estate and store development requirements of retailers and restaurant companies, they also introduce numerous other issues. In this eBook, we will show you how attempts to bring these systems together add up to a solution that is incomplete – or less than one. We'll walk you through the challenges retailers face with regard to Sales, Contracts, Inf rastructure, Integrations, Implementations, Technology, Support and Upgrades when attempting to combine the three solutions. And don't worry, we won't leave you hanging. Enter the single solution – one that brings together customer and location predictive analytics with purpose-built retail GIS and store development execution. Ultimately, we will explain why one solution is greater than multiple solutions. Here, the laws of arithmetic do not apply because 1+1+1 < 1. WHY MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS DON'T ADD UP | INTRODUCTION
