Our Retail Experience and Compliance Networks's History
In 2000, a group of retail professionals at a major department store chain were looking for a solution to address their vendor compliance issues. This search was theresult of first hand experience with the frustrations and high costs associated with vendor noncompliance. When the search revealed no commercially available solutions to solve these critical issues, Compliance Networks was established.
