Corporate and Social Responsibility
The pressure on retailers to act more sustainably has never been greater. Consumers are basing their purchasing on the environmental provenance of a product as well as its cost and quality.
Technology has a major role to play in helping retailers meet their sustainability objectives, at a pace that best suits them and their business plans. Incorporating sustainable ways of working into the business doesn't have to involve costly or dramatic changes.
Torex has a range of solutions that enable companies to meet
their sustainability objectives through unparalleled insight into
their business and innovative technology used to track, respond to
and profit from sustainability initiatives.
Our retail solutions can:
- enable cashiers to record whether customers re-use their bags
at the point of sale, and award loyalty scheme points
accordingly
- increase the number of paperless transactions by offering the
customer the choice of a traditional printed record of the
transaction or an electronic version, accessible by email or on a
specific website
- enable retailers to better manage stock, reducing both
unnecessary transportation costs and the associated carbon
footprint, creating a more smartly-stocked warehouse, and
delivering additional productivity gains
- Give retailers the power to quickly identify potential areas of
waste within the business, such as stores that are consuming more
energy than others, allowing managers to more effectively target
improvements
- Drive better demand forecasting and improved product planning,
meaning fewer excess products produced, fewer initial resources to
manufacture the products, less packaging and reduced transportation
costs, and automated shutdown of PCs and workstations when not
in use after a period of inactivity
