Analyze: Identify the operational pressure points

"We build a clear, data-driven diagnostic across physical stores, backrooms, supply chain, labor, and omnichannel flows."

What We Assess:

• • SKU‑store level demand patterns and forecasting accuracy
  • On‑shelf availability gaps, lost sales and aisle-level OOS heatmaps
  • Replenishment execution: Accuracy, timeliness, and rule logic (min/max, safety stock)
  • Planogram compliance and realogram deviations (facings, placement, missing categories)
  • Checkout experience: Queue length, POS cycle time, self checkout usage
  • Labor alignment: Staffing curve vs footfall, idle labor and understaffing
  • Shrink root causes: Theft, POS overrides, errors, receiving gaps
  • Omnichannel impact: Store pick/pack effect on shelf stock, online fill rates
  • Inventory health: Aged stock, low turns, high markdown exposure

Outputs:

Eliminate: Remove execution gaps, waste, and stock issues

"We target the root causes to restore flow, improve shelf availability, and reduce operational friction."

Typical interventions:

Replenishment & Inventory

• • Dynamic reorder points, improved safety stock rules
  • Early warning alerts for A‑SKU stock-outs
  • Backroom organization and faster shelf restocking cycles

Planogram & Space Execution

• • Shelf-compliance tools with image recognition
  • Space allocation based on sales velocity & margin
  • Daily compliance audits and store walk standards

Checkout & Service Flow

• • Self-checkout deployment
  • Mobile POS for queue busting
  • Express checkout lanes during peaks

Labor Productivity

• • Demand-driven scheduling tied to real traffic data
  • Cross-training staff for flexible deployment (checkout, pick/pack, replenishment)

Shrink Control

• • CCTV coverage gaps fixed, EAS tags on high-risk SKUs
  • POS exception reporting (voids, overrides, refunds)
  • Receiving‑to‑shelf accuracy checks

Omnichannel Protection

• • Pick-from-store rules to protect A‑SKUs
  • Backroom staging for online orders
  • Slotting logic to minimize shelf cannibalization

Outputs:

• Higher on-shelf availability
• Lower shrink
• Faster checkout
• Higher sell-through with fewer markdown
• Balanced labor and reduced overtime

Maximize: Scale availability, speed, and omnichannel performance

"Once execution stabilizes, we elevate retail performance across store networks."

Value levers:

AI/ML forecasting: SKU‑store forecasting using POS, promotions, seasons, and events

Space & assortment optimization: Allocate shelf by velocity and margin contribution

Omnichannel excellence:

• • Optimized pick/pack locations
  • Dark store / microfulfillment alignment
  • Accurate online-to-shelf reconciliation

Customer experience upgrade:

• • Mobile checkout
  • Curbside pickup
  • Digital shelf labels and real time stock updates

Workforce productivity:

• • Task-based scheduling
  • Cross-trained labor pools

Shrink resilience:

• • RFID for high-value SKUs
  • Advanced POS analytics
  • Inventory integrity dashboards

Outputs:

• Higher GMROI
• Fewer markdowns
• Better customer satisfaction
• Improved omnichannel profitability
• Stronger inventory turns
• Margin uplift through operational discipline
