67 questions in eight areas
How your stores trade, your data model, your books, hosting, identity, partners, the rollout and pricing. Each question says why it matters, and each area ends with what a strong answer sounds like and the warning signs.
Six demonstration scenarios
Scripts to give every vendor, with your own products and stores, so you compare what you saw rather than what you were told.
The RFP question workbook
Every question in a spreadsheet, with a priority per question, a 0 to 3 score for three vendors and a weighted summary by area.
Your estate on one page
A profile to send with your questions, so vendors answer for the way your business trades, not for retail in general.
