Operations

We help boost operational excellence in stores and across the retail supply chain.

Superior strategy depends on reliable, efficient fulfillment. To achieve sustainable success, retailers must keep the promises they make to their customers day in and day out. At the same time, retailers need to keep a close watch on operational costs to protect their profits.

What we do

We work with retailers to achieve operational excellence. Typically, our consultants focus on:

  • Lean retail: Focuses on improving efficiency and reducing waste in all in-store processes. We help clients roll out strategic changes to the frontline to improve processes.
  • Frontline operations: Helps retailers improve customer service in stores, drive transactions and basket sizes, attract and retain highly engaged employees, and improve leadership from store and field managers.
  • Retail supply chain management: Improves the flow of goods from the supplier to the shelf through better planning and implementation. Improvements raise service levels, cut costs, and optimize inventory management.
  • Retail real estate: Helps retailers optimize their network and become leaner in how they plan and execute construction. Introduce clients to new markets and expand existing markets. Our experts also work with client teams to optimize real estate management processes.
