Select Merchandising Services Reviews

Budgets became unrealistic to do when the stores and larger than thought of by the company, the little stores are somehow given more time, when the actual time would take up a lot less time" budget for a small store is an hour,whereas it would take up to 15 minutes on average at most".

TNG sends far too many copies of magazines. Readerlink sends far too many books. Fact is, physical magazines & books are both dying off, slowly but surely. The next generations will be reading e-books & e-magazines. The good news is SMS is diversifying by getting into inventory mgt, merchandising of alternative products, such as sunglasses, bottled water & beanie babies. Problem is, logistics isn't keeping up with this growth. In many stores, particularly Kroger, there's little to no available space for overstock boxes of beanie babies, bottled water, etc. SMS doesn't pay fairly for drive time between stores. While driving, TNG Merchandisers are paid an hourly wage, however, there's no mileage reimbursement. TNG leaves much to be desired when it comes to timeliness consistency of deliveries from depots to various stores. And what usually happens is TNG Merchandisers' jobs are made much more difficult, because currently there's no system in place linking communication between depots, delivery drivers & TNG Merchandisers.
