Retail is Detail, a book eleven years in the making is 405 pages of exciting innovation and solid advice for retailers who want to learn how to beat Walmart and excel in the business of retailing. “It’s not rocket science,” says Scott, the president of Scott Systems, LLC. “It’s just the natural evolution of technology, and you merely have to open your eyes to see it.”
Jackson, MS August 1, 2011 – Scott & Hawkins have brought forth their expertise to bring a shared vision to life. Over a decade since its conception, together, they have succeeded in delivering a superb explanation of how small businesses of any size, can easily harness the power of the Internet; an everyday technology coupled with the methodology conceived by Sam Walton over a quarter-century ago; the same process that turned a plain and ordinary variety-store manager into the largest and most successful retailer in the history of the world.
In their book, the authors make it clear, “While the Internet was created in 1969, Sam Walton’s ‘pseudo Internet’ was the ‘first proprietary, commercial Cloud’ and is the reason for his phenomenal success.”
Through more than a decade of extensive research and testing in live businesses, the two have come up with a strategy that can be followed by virtually any retailer of any size. Every one of whom could easily become the next market leader in their industry.
Developing Walmart’s technology would cost billions in today’s money, but the authors show us how to acquire the same technology at virtually no cost to the retailer; and at the same time, doubling the profits in retail stores and for suppliers who choose to embrace it. “It’s an epiphany of sorts, that is as plain as the nose on your face,” Scott declares.
Whether a grocer struggling to meet his obligations, a convenience store operator trying to find a way out, a supplier looking for ways to attract new retailers, a department store executive facing almost certain failure, a university student exploring information engineering, or just ordinary folk curious as to how new technologies will alter their lives in the very near future -- this sure to be bestseller will change your vision of reality and the way you attack tomorrow.
Retail is Detail is a game changer, a paradigm shifter and in many places, a downright amusing story that explains complicated subjects in a method anyone can understand. The authors’ suggestions and predictions will definitely cause eyebrows to soar and epiphanies to occur for almost everyone who reads them.
