Retail and distribution management involves overseeing the processes of delivering goods and services from manufacturers to end consumers, ensuring efficiency, customer satisfaction and business profitability. Retail management focuses on activities like store operations, merchandising, pricing, customer engagement and inventory control to provide a seamless shopping experience. On the other hand, distribution management emphasizes the effective planning and execution of supply chain activities, including warehousing, transportation and last-mile delivery, to ensure products are available at the right time and place.
