Does XRS replace third-party merchandisers?2025-12-03T22:42:54+00:00

XRS is designed to augment and improve the current third-party merchandising system.  In many cases XRS is available in stores not covered by traditional merchandising companies.  XRS is a great solution for remote retail store locations.
