ProgressBay sets its sights straight when it comes to the process of the acquisition of the contact details of individuals and companies that are intrinsic to the functioning and process of the retail trade industry. In most cases, companies within this industry directly sell retail products to customers for their household requirements. But in some cases companies in this industry also cater to other companies. In other words, they cater to a B2C (business to customer) and B2B (business to business). Establishments in the retail trade industry have a large amount of sales and have it regularly. The process of incidental and impulse buying and selling also largely affects and contributes to this segment. A very complex industry, the retail trade industry is hard to compile in terms of data collection. However, ProgressBay has taken the responsibility of gathering the data, segregating it and confirming the veracity of the database and its contact details.
