Rethinking Cost Management In Retail And Consumer Goods

We reduce our clients costs by working with them to set up rigorous programs with tight control. These programs cut across the traditional buckets of cost reduction schemes in order to sustainably lower the cost base and offer a better customer proposition.

From reengineering private label products and redesigning the supplier base to advanced negotiation approaches and tools, we are able to continuously secure better prices for the client and better products for the customer.

By implementing a targeted expense diagnosis on goods not for resale (GNFR), we apply efficient and effective sourcing actions (buy cheaper, buy better, buy less) to identify and implement sustainable cost reductions, which are directly linked to the P&L.

Applying our zero-based organization (ZBO) and zero-based budgeting (ZBB) methodology gives us the ability to review, redesign, and rebuild the organization with a focus on the essential tasks. At the same time, we help our clients invest in strategic capabilities needed to grow.

Our comprehensive insights into store operations, best-practice processes, and value adding services allow us to jointly design activity driven labor scheduling tools and world-class store processes. Our digital solutions ensure sustainability of programs and enduring benefits.

We understand supply chain as a value driving aspect of the business. We support our clients from strategy development to operational optimization and implementation. Our customer centric digital solutions enable clients to manage the growing complexity of physical and information flows.
