Market trend:
As the market is expanding in the rapid manner there are different types of factors that
influence a country economy and operating organisation. Each and Every business
organisation is facing dynamic culture that brings numerous factors of threats to it.
In context with this, online supermarket store is one of the leading industries while
having too many competitors available in the market. As this industry is becoming on the
fastest growing sectors there is a high risk of substitution and new entries in a marketplace
(Kasriel-Alexander, 2016).

Therefore, in order to remain in competition, it is essential for a business organisation
to continuously keep on investing in its research and development as to gain maximum
amount of current market knowledge and innovative technology. This brings satisfying
customers with great effectiveness. In addition, with this, periodically evaluation of rival
strategies and policies are required to done as to compete them with more effectiveness.
Along with this it is important for an organisation to adopt new and innovative tools
and techniques as to serve consumers in the best possible way and earn more advancement.
Within online supermarket industry, online purchase of food products to every
essential basic necessity is taking place. Customers prefer to buy even little utilities through a
medium of e commerce. All these, effectively change and bring the latest trends in
marketplace. As in the sector of online industry, competition is rising in a rapid phase
business organisation are required to adopt the latest technologies in order to boost their
effectiveness (Ng, 2014). This will aid in bringing prosperity in a country economy and
strengthen sustainability in a marketplace for long run.
In context with this, NISA has been a logistics company helping private entrepreneurs
set up their business at a larger scale by helping them with sourcing of supplies.
Along with this company is looking forward to using cognitive network in their
networking system as to perform their operations with more effectiveness and increase their
shares and position in UK in simultaneous manner. Furthermore, entity is planning to adopt a
new measure with the help of cognitive network that will aid them to offer their online
products and services in more attractive and advanced level.
The Opportunity:
The criteria for joining:
In order to join, retailers must have an existing business with a healthy balance sheet
or a start-up business and a sound business plan.
Entrepreneurs joining the NISA symbol group have to be able to take a minimum
delivery of 100 cases of chill/frizz per week plus 300 cases of ambient products per week.
The contractual requirements for Loco are a minimum of a five-year period.
The products are all delivered direct to the store and retailers can make use of Nisa’s
six-day-a-week delivery service. For Independent/Specialist we will work with retailers for a

mutual delivery profile however the minimum requirement is 200 cases of ambient per
delivery, with the option of 100 cases of chill/frizz over the week.
The support offers a partner to display NISA banner? What incentives do you offer?
Nisa earns its cut of the profit by working with partners rather than out of them which
makes the partnership quite unique. Nisa partners benefit from a strong rebate scheme which
rewards retailers on their volume, loyalty and behaviours. This is on top of the complete
support package that Nisa offers to enable partners to succeed in the market place.
The entrepreneurship:
Being a private retailer, this is an excellent opportunity to expand the business,
perhaps not at the same level as TESCO Express or Waitrose but provide grocery
requirements for the local clientele. Big stores like Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury are not
normally situated in high street and it is much convenient for the shopper to visit places like
Nisa for shopping instead of having to visit a large store and stand in the queue for half an
hour or so when the time is short.
Hence, a person with the requisite knowledge and ambition will find it an excellent
opportunity to take up and run the business in this niche segment.
Typically, NISA-bannered stored are small and almost the same size as Tesco Express
as the picture below shows.
Using different models will help develop the argument that it makes sense for an
entrepreneur to take up the offer from NISA and run his/her own business with the backup of
an organization which can supply grocery items instead of having to go to cash and carry
outlets every week.

subject to availability.

Nisa retailers pricing concerns are threat to Co-op deal. If the deal goes ahead retailers
fear they could end up paying a higher cost price than Co-op stores due to additional costs.
They likewise affirmed centre declined. Bargaining. To surety those bargain NISA wants to
make retailers more competitive. They ask for evidence and a guarantee that prices be
cheaper.
Rivalry among existing competitors
The competitive rivalry is strong in the retail industry. Nisa company experience the
strong forces such as large number of firms in the retail market and large variety of retail
firms which defines the competitive rivalry in the retail industry. According to porter five
forces model, large number of the firm typically strengthen the competition in the market
place. The high variety of enterprise impose the challenges for Nisa company in terms of
developing its competitive advantage in the global market place(Mathooko and Ogutu,
2015).
Threat of new entrants
NISA company has the threat of the new entrants companies in the industry because
they will gain the market share from the market place. The position of Nisa is stronger if
there are barrier to entering of new companies in the marketplace. Increased brand image and
customer loyalty towards the company can make it difficult for new entrants to gain market
share. According to porter five forces model Nisa company has the strong intensity of threat
of new entrants because new entry of retail firm can easily achieve in the market(Burns and
Dewhurst, 2016).
Supplier power
The supplier power also affect the productivity of the firm because the bargaining
power of the supplier is also described as the market of inputs. Nisa has the few numbers of
supplier choice which increased the supplier power towards the firm. The bargaining power
of supplier also affect the cost of the products because if supplier of Nisa provides raw
material at high cost then company needs to sell its products on high cost which results in less
profitability of the firm.
