Abstract
An overview of research questions and opportunities arising in the area of retail micrologistics is given. The latter is defined by assuming that w.r.t. a retail store environment, each item is tagged and individually traceable in real time, ordering principles and physical store layout are separated, and these principles are applied selectively to the point of sale (PoS), thus involving the consumer and primarily fast moving consumer goods (FMCG). Use cases are outlined.
