Retail

Retail is a business of thin margins and constant motion. We work on the economics of each store and channel, the assortment, the inventory, and the shift of sales online.
Where the work concentrates

The work in retail.

Store and channel economics

We rebuild the unit economics of each location and each channel, so growth adds profit as well as revenue.

Assortment and merchandising

We work on what the retailer stocks, prices, and promotes, and how space and inventory are allocated to it.

Inventory and supply chain

We tighten buying, allocation, and replenishment, and free the cash tied up in stock.

Digital and omnichannel

We work on the move of sales to digital, and the economics of fulfilment, returns, and delivery.

Our approach

The economics of each store and channel.

We look past the total to the profit of each store, channel, and category, because that is where retail is won or lost. We work on assortment, inventory, and pricing together, and we spend time in the stores and the distribution centres where it actually happens, so the changes hold in how buying and operations are run.
