What began as a tentative microcosm with eyewear (Lawrence & Mayo), footwear (Bata) and Photography (Kodak) stores across metros in the 1950s has today evolved into a massive retail culture across the country. From small patisseries<\/i> to signature boutiques, the concept of retail store network has invaded every area of business. Retail outlets have not only conquered the metro landscape but also pervaded the smaller towns where the \u2018kinara <\/i>shop\u2019 has always dominated.<\/p>\n

In this fiercely competitive scenario where you find one pizza eatery setting shop next to another in the same street, analytics have become the most powerful tools available to retailers.
