About
Aligned to the Retail Industry Transformation Map (ITM), the Retail Industry Digital Plan (IDP) is part of the SMEs Go Digital programme which aims to make going digital simple for SMEs. The Retail IDP provides a step-by-step guide on the digital solutions local SMEs in the Retail industry can adopt at each stage of their growth.
