Decentralized Retail

Decentralization in itself is removing congestion from a particular central system and allocating functions to smaller central location. A typical divide and conquer system.    

There has been real change and development in the retail industry. These changes can be taken a notch further with decentralization of the industry. The centralization of the retail stores is usually hard work in terms of customer’s service. For both customers and retailers, themselves, the decentralization seems to be a way out.
