Digital tools increase Waitrose VM capability
Overview
Product aside, grocery retailer Waitrose has another strong point of difference – its people. They feel a passion for the brand and really know their stuff.
Our task was to help frontline retail staff learn more about what it means to deliver efficient and effective VM.
