The retail landscape is being redrawn.

Today’s retail landscape is changing as a result of numerous technological and societal disruptions, from the growth of mobile devices as a retail channel to generational shifts in purchase behavior. Sixteen out of Fortune 500’s 110 retail and consumer products companies use us to connect their brands with consumers, optimize the use of sales channels, make supply chains more efficient, and enable information technology to drive business growth and consumer engagement.

How We Help

Brand & Product Management

We help retailers and consumer product companies develop memorable brand experiences and innovative product designs that connect with the “always-on” consumer.

Merchandising & Planning

We work with clients to develop strategies and processes around category management, assortment planning, and product pricing to ensure that these expectations are met.

Store Operations

We partner with clients to help them optimize their use of in-store labor, point of sale technology, and on-hand inventory.

Supply Chain Excellence

We adapt existing structures and systems to incorporate digital channels such as mobile and e-commerce to ensure that costs are contained while margins are maintained.

Omnichannel
