How to manage supplies for gift stores on more than 90 Cruise Ships worldwide

In addition to the restaurants and entertainment venues on all the major cruise ships, there are independently operated businesses on board that have their own set of special requirements.

Starting Situation

Gifts shops, spas and photo shops all operate as independent concessions on cruise ships and must function seamlessly, like their bricks-and-mortar counterparts. These businesses have the same logistics demands as any retail enterprise, while facing the additional complication of being continuously at sea.
