July is Independent Retailer Month, a time for us all to show our appreciation and support for local small businesses. This month-long tribute encourages everyone to shop at independent retailers, and recognize their vital role in the economy. Globally, independent retailers employ a significant portion of the workforce. In the EU, SMEs - including many independent retailers - employ around 66.6% of the workforce; in the U.S., they employ about 51%. At Nayax, we understand the importance of local retailers. We go out to the field, listen to them, and help them find complete payment solutions to conveniently manage their businesses, maximizing profits, efficiency, and time. Whether you're looking for specialty foods, clothing, or books, independent retailers offer goods and services that are not found in larger stores. So, this month especially, go thank your local independent retailer by promoting their business. Happy #IndependentRetailerMonth ! ___ #Nayax #NayaxInnovation #NayaxPayments #NayaxSolutions #NayaxTech

This is my concern with IDC-owned companies. They don't leave much room for regular retail investors if the IDC owns the majority. IDC can start companies and then offload them to investors at a profit. Instead of just sitting on the shares. They need to start making shares available to retail investors. They own 63% of Zaffico. They should cut their ownership to less than 30% and allow the market institutional and retail investors to take up 70% of the shares in the company so the risk is transferred to the market. #luse #zaffico

Brilliant collaboration between Ligentia and 525-store UK retailer 'The Works'. The Works' Supply Chain Director, Dean Hawkridge stated the benefits of working with Ligentia, with particular focus on our 'Ligentix' visibility platform: "we can now collaborate effectively with our [Asia-based] vendors and have full visibility ... we're using the same base data they are ... we can make conscious trading decisions based on this information." Dean went on to talk about The Works' growth plans, particularly in e-commerce ... now they are tech-enabled they can throw off the yoke of supply chain inefficiency and embrace services that will help drive growth: origin consolidation to save cost, store-ready labelling, scan-packing ... and using their supply chain as a competitive weapon, not a 'cost-centre'. The comment that resonated most for me was: "In a world that's uncertain, and becoming more uncertain, the requirement for visibility so you can make conscious decisions is becoming even more critical than it was before." In celebration of International Day of the Seafarer yesterday, I wanted to share an old 'tall ship' sailing adage to aid supply chain managers; 'those who reef too late may never live to reef again' ... that is to say, if you see a storm approaching, you'd better roll up some canvas, and batten down the hatches while the sea's still calm ... because attempting that act in gale-force winds with waves blasting over the deck would have dire consequences. Those who sail out of storms unscathed are the ones who prepared well, so they could focus on careful navigation and preservation of ship & crew when that storm hit. If we are indeed headed for even more uncertainty, Dean and his team at The Works will be one of those ships sailing out the other side. Well done to the teams at Ligentia, The Works Stores Ltd and all the vendors for a great project, may you continue to reap the benefits Ligentia offers. #supplychainvisibility #supplychaintransformation
