RETAILER
ITC uses FIFO method to reduce the wastage of goods due to expiry.
They also keep the good on constant move from low sales area to high sales area.
The company collects all the expired goods four times a year, and destroys them.
Retailers must return expired or damaged products within six months after the date of expire.
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Adjustment for them is done in three months time.
ITC provides their retailers with racks, hangers, etc to display the products.
The benefits received by the retailers depend upon their sales volume and also the location of their shops.
ITC has hired IMRB to do the market research.
