Retail operations in the fashion industry involve cross-functional teamwork to ensure that the right products are available in the right quantities, maintaining attractive and organised ecommerce or in-store displays, effective stock management procedures and retail operations functions.

Wholesale operations focus on selling products to retailers, rather than directly to consumers establishing relationships with buyers, managing stock and logistics and ensuring timely delivery of products. Wholesale operations play a crucial role in distributing fashion products to a wider market and reaching a larger customer base.
