What we do
Four places we find money in a goods business.
Each starts with your own data and ends with a change your team owns. Most engagements touch two or three of them.
01
Margin and commercial insight
Where price, promotion, range and availability are quietly costing you margin, measured product by product and store by store.
Typical work
- Range reviews from category to SKU
- Pricing and promotion effectiveness
- Store segmentation and clustering
- On-shelf availability and waste
- Supplier and customer reporting
- Margin bridge: what moved, and why
02
Buying and procurement
Better terms on what you buy for resale and to run the business, with the evidence and negotiation behind them.
Typical work
- Spend analysis across direct and indirect
- Supplier terms and cost-price challenges
- Negotiation preparation and support
- Buying team capability and design
- Supplier and supply-chain risk
- Sourcing events, run end to end
03
Warehouse and logistics cost
With specialist partners, we benchmark each site and redesign the work itself, not just the rates you pay for it.
Typical work
- Site-by-site cost benchmarking
- Labour productivity and planning
- Pick, pack and slotting design
- 3PL contract and rate review
- Network and stock positioning
- Weekly cost and service tracking
04
AI in operations
The few uses of AI that pay back in your operation, chosen on evidence and adopted by your team.
Typical work
- Where AI fits: a ranked shortlist
- Data readiness check
- Tool selection and introductions
- Pilots with a measured baseline
- Roll-out and team adoption
- Value tracking after go-live
Where we have a commercial relationship with a supplier we introduce, we tell you before you meet them.
