Through this message I’d like to extend a very warm welcome to Ireland and Northern-Ireland in joining the countries where we have a local representative for our space planning / category management software solutions. We believe that the mix of globalized software and a wealth of international experience with local knowledge and accessibility, will offer our clients the best possible solutions at great value for money.
We are Global Retail Business Solutions Ltd, or GRBS which is shorter and less formal, and I am Erwin Bergsma, owner and managing director of the company. GRBS is headquartered in Belgium, has an office in the Netherlands, and has various resellers around the world, covering over 40 countries already! By joining this team, ShelfStock can offer professional retail shelf planning and retail floor planning software that is easy to use, as well as friendly for our clients’ budgets. In addition Gerry has access to a team of seasoned professionals from around the world; the six most senior people in the team already have a combined experience of over 150 years in space planning and Category Management!
GRBS and its resellers around the world help retailers, wholesalers, suppliers and manufacturers of packaged consumer goods in all sorts of trade channels with the challenges they face in balancing the assortment with the available space, logistical constraints and commercial strategies. Some call it space planning, others Category Management, Trade Marketing, or even more exotic names, and then there are people who simply call it “commercial support”. Either way, our software and people are ready for it!
Among our clients are retailers in grocery, DIY, airports, and garden centers; wholesalers in office supplies, professional safety products, petfood and accessories, and DIY; manufacturers in food (beer, frozen, diet, bread, …) and non-food (household, health & beauty, ICT, pharmaceutical, tobacco, …)
We wish Gerry a lot of success, and look forward to the moment the client-base is large enough to organize a user-conference and meet our Irish clients in person.
Kind regards,
Erwin Bergsma
