Leading Retailers Are Using Mobility to Address Inventory and Warehouse Optimization Needs

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 09:00:26 EDT

Between July and August 2009, Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS), surveyed 129 retail organizations on best methods and techniques to ensure configurability, integration, and the extensibility of a mobility infrastructure in 21st century retail.
