Wholesale and Retail
The retail and wholesale sector is fast moving, as the digital age progresses, the retail and wholesale trade needs to adapt along with it. The retail landscape of the future may not include many physical stores but more online approaches to selling products.
Before the digital revolution, we used to go to shops to buy our products or travel around the world sourcing new suppliers of wholesale products, this had its own challenges. But as everything is moving online, the world is getting smaller and we now live in an immediate demand economy. We want everything cheaper, next day and don’t expect me to pay for shipping.
If your organization is in the retail or wholesale sector having ISO Certification can help you navigate the complexities of the ever changing world and to ensure the products you are providing meet customer needs.

In 2015, the core ISO standards all aligned and now follow Annex SL which sets out a high level clause structure for all standards to follow. This makes it easier to integrate different management systems into one core set of policies and procedures, reducing documentation and allowing for multiple standards to be assessed at the same time.
