The supply chain

Retail is where the supply chain begins.

Every sale on a store floor keeps a business open, and every business that stays open keeps factories running. When retail slows down, the factories behind it feel it first.

That is why RTS is retail-led. We strengthen the teams that drive sales, and we partner with and acquire the distributors and factories that depend on them, as a growth accelerator for the whole chain.

Stores
Every sale keeps a business open.
Factories
Steady orders keep production running.

Demand starts on the store floor and runs back to the factory.
