Problem
Completely new innovation is rare, especially in the saturated Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry. CPG companies are often not creating entirely new technologies, but instead making minor alterations to products already on the market. This saturation has left retailers in a compromising position when it comes to offering their customers cutting edge products. Due to a new competitive environment and changed buying habits, consumers are buying more online and through mobile. Competition is no longer the store across the street but global.
Aditionally, retailers are looking to:
- Increase dollar volume
- Stop the cannibalization in their stores
- Integrate products that increase each category's overall new revenue
- Source new, innovative, unique and patented products that will make a differential between them and their competition
- Provide products that bring excitement, more engagement, and drive bigger basket sizes
Solution
IPS is a management group with a passion for making a difference by enhancing people's lives through new technology products that we bring direct to retail. We source and help develop new technology products that enables retailers to offer incrementally different products to their shoppers. We’re bringing specialized, innovative products to retailers. These new technologies improve the retailer's image and profitability while helping people improve their lifestyle.
Our goal at IPS Inc is to develop new technology products that are truly incremental to existing products and apply each aspect of our organization to have their product concept reach the ultimate end user. IPS delivers products that drive new revenue streams for retailers.
