The third challenge facing Asda Group is the saturation of the food retailing market.

Although expanding Atomica’s menu has been explored, issues with Atomica’s consistency in quality and service have been noted in online reviews on Yelp.com. a POS system may also allow Atomica to improve their processes rather than altering their product line; having a large menu will not remedy underlying issues with

As per the context of the case study, we have come up with three possible actions that can be taken in order to meet the excess inventory problem are geographical expansion and increasing the market size by covering the untapped market in South and Central parts of America or making an internal agreement with a small manufacturing company that imports raw fishes and produces fish allied products such as fish oil, fish sauce, etc. Else we can launch a ‘Limited Edition Product’ by increasing the quantity per package at the existing price and providing exciting offers. The underlying cause of excess inventory in Neptune Gourmet Seafood is due to limited target market size. Neptune has to identify areas that are isolated from its product and enter new geographic markets.
