Many consider The ROI to be the "foremost self-help resource" on retail finance, serving independent retailers worldwide, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The ROI emphasis is on the basics of retail finance, inventory management, and cash flow control. So it is particularly relevant to owners and decision-makers of retail operations with up to 100 stores (especially those who may be accounting-averse). The ROI has been called "a virtual small business development center (SBDC) exclusively for retailers" and "a WebMD for retail owners." Its Web site currently attracts 18,000 unique visitors each month.
The ROI is launching a new Web site offering information aimed at 57 different retail segments—as well as content that will be unique to Microsoft Dynamics retail customers. The ROI will also provide information specific to Microsoft Dynamics RMS and Point of Sale on the Microsoft Web site, which will include valuable tips on enhancing retail performance.
