poodivõrgustik
Poodivõrgustik refers to a network of retail stores or shops. This term is commonly used in Estonian and describes a collection of commercial establishments that operate under a common brand, ownership, or management. These networks can range in size from small, local chains to large international corporations. The concept encompasses various types of retail, including supermarkets, clothing stores, electronics retailers, and convenience stores. The primary purpose of a poodivõrgustik is to serve customers by providing goods and services through multiple locations, often aiming for consistent branding, product selection, and customer experience across all outlets. Managing such a network involves complex logistics, marketing, human resources, and financial planning to ensure efficiency and profitability.
