The New Markdown Landscape

Markdowns are becoming increasingly more complex no matter the retail vertical. Channel disruption, rapidly expanding and localized assortments, competition and category killers, changing consumer tastes – the list goes on. Markdown plans must be optimal and agile to keep up with this ever-evolving retail environment.
